Kelowna orchardist Fred Steele re-elected Saturday in Kelowna for another term as president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association.

Steele challenged by North Okanagan fruit grower Jeet Dukhia (and former President), said he was relieved that the campaign was over.

“I think this is the third time he and I have run against each other now. He ran a good, tough campaign and I respect that,” Steele said.

Pinder Dhaliwal of Oliver re-elected as Vice President.
