Chai & Chat with Mohini | Featuring Pam Turgeon (Parade with Purpose)

In this inaugural episode of Chai & Chat with Mohini, we open the doors to conversation, community, and quiet courage. Host Mohini Singh, a respected former broadcast journalist and longtime Kelowna City Councillor, brings her signature warmth and grounded presence to the table. Known for amplifying local voices and serving her community with integrity, Mohini leads this conversation with the kind of gentle depth that feels like home.

Joining her is Pam Turgeon, co-founder of Parade with Purpose — a heartfelt community tradition born in Kelowna. What started in 2020 as three simple holiday floats created by Pam and her daughter to lift spirits during the pandemic has now grown into a beloved annual parade featuring 30+ floats and thousands of participants. But behind the lights and music lies a deeply human story: one shaped by loss, healing, and a determination to bring warmth and connection to families across the city.

Together, Mohini and Pam explore the threads that bind community:
• how personal grief can become a lantern for others
• why small gestures can turn into movements
• what “purpose” truly means in a world hungry for kindness
• and how Kelowna’s people continue to show up for each other in difficult times

The conversation moves gently — part storytelling, part reflection — creating a space where honesty, resilience, and hope brew together like a comforting cup of chai.

This episode isn’t just an interview. It’s an invitation to witness two women who care deeply about their city, sharing stories that remind us that community isn’t built in grand gestures, but in small, brave acts of love.
