RED NOSE GETS A NEW GOLD(EN) BOOST: New Gold’s New Afton mine, which operates just west of Kamloops, has donated $5,000 to Operation Red Nose, with proceeds going to help amateur athletes via PacificSport Interior BC. In the photo are, from left: New Gold community relations co-ordinator Sam Numsen, PacificSport Interior BC executive director and Kamloops Operation Red Nose founder Carolynn Boomer and Katie Klassen, PacificSport Interior BC sport participation co-ordinator and Operation Red Nose committee member. While the pandemic has forced organizers to park the drive-home Red Nose service this year, there is an ongoing online awareness campaign, which can be found at take-the-reins.com.

ONGOING A Way Home Kamloops is accepting registrations for its fourth annual Campout To End Youth Homelessness. The campout is an annual fundraiser that helps shine a light on youth homelessness in Kamloops. Participants camp overnight, outside in a cardboard box, and collect pledges for the cause. Campers are encouraged to raise money to fund programs that help support homeless youth in Kamloops. With physical distancing a priority, what is normally a group campout event of more than 50 people will now see 30 people camping in McDonald Park in North Kamloops on Dec. 11 and into Dec. 12. For more information, go online to awayhomekamloops.com.
A PROUD PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY!
