Mayor David Jurek

Mayor Jurek was elected as Mayor in October 2026.  He believes in bringing people together to build a thriving community where the next generation can see a future and proudly call home.

David was four years old when his family left Czechoslovakia for Canada in 1984 in search of freedom.  He has lived across Canada and spent much of his life in the Okanagan.  In January 2016, he settled in the South Cariboo, drawn by a quieter pace of life and the chance to be closer to family.

David spent five years working in logging before earning his real estate licence in 2003.  He bought the RE/MAX office in 100 Mile House when he moved to the area and grew the brokerage before selling it.  He looks back with pride on what he and his team built together.  He has also served with Mount Timothy, the BC Northern Real Estate Board, and the South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce.

Family is at the center of David's life.  Outside work and public service, he enjoys good coffee and conversation, flying, mountain biking, and exploring the Cariboo.
