Holiday Waste Reduction

• Wrapping paper, christmas trees, left over food -- the Christmas holidays can be full of waste! Here are a few tips to help you reduce your holiday waste: •R ecycle your christmas tree. To find a drop off location, please visit: www.kamloops.ca/garbage/christmastreerecycling.shtml • Recycle wrapping paper or use newspaper to wrap gifts. • Share leftovers so Holiday food doesn’t go to waste.

“Green” Ice - Greening our recreation facilities • All edgers (used to remove ice build up against arena boards ) are now 100% battery electric. • 3 of 6 sheets have been upgraded to the REALice® system that eliminates the use of hot water, reducing natural gas consumption for ice production and reducing compressor run time. • McArthur Island uses recovered heat from the ice plant to melt the snow in the pit. • Lighting upgrades at Valleyview and Memorial arenas, with more being planned in the future. • The Sandman Centre’s primary ice resurfacer has been 100% battery electric since 1993, the first one in BC!

Peterson Creek Path - The Inside Scoop!

• The path is expected to be completed in June 2018 and ready for use shortly after. • The project will connect the City Centre and Sahali areas via a safe, aesthetically pleasing route. It is expected that over 300 cyclists will use the path daily. Historical and cultural signage may be incorporated along the route. • The shift to sustainable travel modes reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves health and wellness for Kamloopsians, and provides opportunity for access to parks and natural areas.
