As a City Councillor and as an individual, Councillor Cavers participates in a wide range of organizations working on health, sustainability and social justice issues with a particular focus on diversifying our transportation system, increasing local food security and accessibility, and ensuring our community is a healthy, vibrant place for all. Born in Kamloops, Donovan Grube Cavers is the grandson of the late Trustee Henry Grube, for whom School District No. 73’s Education Centre is named. Donovan spent his early years on a family farm in Chase, BC and has lived in Kamloops since the age of 11, where he hopes to start a family. An Honour Student at John Peterson Secondary School, he went on to study in the Culinary Arts program at UCC (now Thompson Rivers University). Donovan is the founder and proud owner of two local businesses, Conscientious Catering and The Cultivated Kitchen.
   Councillor Cavers sits on the Tournament Capital Committee, the Parks and Recreation Committee, the Community and Council Services Committee, the Coordinated Enforcement Task Force, the Development Cost Charges Review Committee, the Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel, and is the alternate to the Social Planning Council. Councillor Cavers is always happy to hear from you and appreciates all ideas on how we can make our city even better. When he has a few moments of his own, Donovan can be found reading, cycling, hiking, gardening, swimming, running, or cross-country skiing.
