Biography

My name is Mike O'Reilly and I am asking for your vote on October 20th to become your city councillor.
​
I am the proud owner of Caffe Motivo and have called Kamloops home for over 30 years. I have lived in many neighbourhoods throughout the city. I spent most of my teenage years in low income and government subsidized housing and have a true understanding of the importance of keeping Kamloops affordable. We must keep Kamloops affordable for the people that call Kamloops home.
​
For the past 10 years, in both my role as the New Business Attraction Manager at Venture Kamloops, and through my own businesses, I have worked on job creation in Kamloops. During the past decade I have sat on multiple volunteer boards and organizations including the following:
​
Kamloops Downtown Business Improvement Association - President
Kamloops MS Society - President
BC/Yukon MS Society - Government Relations Committee Chair
Kamloops Fusion Rotaract - President
Kamloops Exploration Group - Board Member
​
​
My experience in business and leading multiple non-profit organizations throughout the city and province has given me the tools needed to help lead Kamloops. I have been able to bridge the gap between the left and right, the north and south, and the East and West.
