SPEAKING OF ORATORY EXCELLENCE . . .
As judge Tim Shoults of Kamloops This Week and Aberdeen Publishing (foreground) looks on, Dallas elementary student Taytum Grant delivers his speech on the topic of homelessness. Taytum’s speech was part of the Rotary Kamloops Speech Contest, held on Thursday in the school’s library. Students from 12 Kamloops-Thompson schools are holding their own speech contests, with the winners from each school advancing to zone contests. From there, finalists will be chosen to speak at the Rotary Club of Kamloops’ annual School Speech Contest in March.

One child-care centre in Kamloops will benefit from additional money allocated by the provincial government. Kiddies Korner Daycare will receive $250,000, which will allow it to add 73 spaces at its Valleyview facility — 24 for infants and toddlers, seven for children ages three to five, 20 for preschoolers and 22 for school-age kids. In its throne speech, the government announced $33 million of capital funding for 103 projects by 91 organizations in 52 communities. Priority was given to those adding space for infants and toddlers, for which the demand is greatest, and facilities located on school grounds, to ease the transition to the classroom and to afterschool care. Other priorities reviewed include those facilities that share space with other family-support programs, those in Indigenous communities and workplace-situated childcare resources. The increase is aimed at creating 3,806 more child-care spaces created across B.C.
