Ray Phillips:
Living the Good Life For many people Kamloops and its surrounding area is all about ‘living the good life.’ Our seasonal climate, our abundance of parks and back country, and our world-class recreational facilities certainly makes it easier to live an active life. We love hearing your stories about healthy living and we are happy to share this success story with you. If you have spent any time at the TCC you’ve likely seen Ray talking about how much he loves this city, the people and the weather. Ray’s passion for Kamloops ignited after he retired as a Burnaby Firefighter and moved here 10 years ago. Kamloops has been a good fit as he has made good friends and has enjoyed volunteering at many sports and cultural events. Ray has long been active in a variety of sports, “always working hard to win.” Though a life-long swimmer for fun and fitness, he had never swum competitively. But that didn’t stop him, at the age of 66 years, from registering as a speed swimmer in the Kamloops 2013 BC Senior Games. Ray started to train three months prior to the Games by increasing his swimming to 3 times per week, dusting off his bike for distance rides and putting lots of miles on his Nordic walking poles. All the while his wife Terry kept him going with her encouragement and support whenever he had a tough day.

The hard work paid off. Ray won 5 medals (1 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze) and had a wonderful time at the Games meeting great people from all over the province. Ray also gained an athlete’s perspective of attending a ‘Tournament Capital’ event. He will put this to good use as he warmly welcomes the athletes and guests of the 2014 Tim Horton’s Brier as a proud volunteer singing the praises of our great city.
