SANTA CLAUS PARADE returns to downtown Kamloops
A
fter the pandemic left him and his reindeer parked at the North Pole, Santa Claus is back in Kamloops this year. Following a one-year hiatus, the Santa Claus Parade will return to downtown Kamloops. The annual event hosted by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association includes community floats and a visit from the Jolly Old Elf in a red suit. It will take place on Sunday, Nov. 28. In years past, Kamloops residents lined Victoria Street in order to catch a glimpse of Santa and other community members, who put countless hours into decorating their parade floats and getting dressed up for the occasion. Last year’s event, however, was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The event takes This year, the KCBIA confirms the event — the 41st annual parade — will be back bigger and better than ever. The theme of the parade this year is Luminous Loops. With parade festivities getting underway in the late afternoon, participants are being asked to utilize lights in creative ways. Parade floats this year are to be illuminated with lights and feature props, movement, costumes, colour and music. Participants who are walking are also being encouraged to wear battery-operated lighting to add to the ambiance. The event takes place at dusk and the hope is Christmas lights will provide a uniquely festive holiday atmosphere.Wake Up Santa starts at 4:10 p.m. and the parade begins at 4:30 p.m. Floats will travel along Victoria Street from Second Avenue to Sixth Avenue. Bands and performers will also be featured along the parade route. Thompson Rivers University is the event’s title sponsor. Bundle up the kiddies, grab a cup of hot chocolate and head on down to one of the first community events to return in the city amid the pandemic.

From theatre to dog sledding and more, KTW compiled a list of activities, for those who want to join in some seasonal merriment. • Volunteers at the Overlander Ski Club have been busy getting the trails in order, in anticipation for another busy year. Last year, people flocked to the hills during the COVID-19 pandemic, enjoying a bit of exercise just south of Kamloops. Day rates and rentals are offered at a bargain. Newcomers are welcome. For more information, go online to overlanderskiclub.com. • Western Canada Theatre is presenting the Chelsea Hotel from Dec. 2 to Dec. 11 at Sagebrush Theatre.

WILDLIGHTS TO RETURN TO BC WILDLIFE PARK Annual event sees animal light displays set up throughout the park in East Kamloops
A
lthough planning and approvals are still underway, Wildlights is set to return and once again welcome guests into the BC Wildlife Park. Last year, the light display event was cancelled in December after health guidelines changed to prohibit events. But since then, about 85 per cent of the province has received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. BC Wildlife Park executive director Glenn Grant said the biggest question that remains right now is whether or not the park will have to use the vaccine card system. He explained that, while the event itself is outdoors, the park is accessed through an indoor area. “But we’re basically an outdoor event, so how do the rules that are in place right now apply to us, and what do we need to do to move forward?” he said. Grant said he and his staff are meeting to determine next steps, which will include consulting with Interior Health and the Provincial Health Office.
14 - Christmas in Kamloops 2021 | Part 1
Last year, the park was able to operate during its normal business hours, with a thousand people moving through the park. “And then, after closing, we wanted to re-open at five o’clock for an event, but we couldn’t because it was classified as an event,” he said about the 2020 attempt at Wildlights, which ultimately became a virtual event. Grant said the park has remained a safe place to visit and all existing protocols will remain in place to keep visitors and staff safe. In the wildlife park’s case, that also includes a vaccine mandate for its staff. “We have a mandatory vaccination policy. Right now, 100 per cent of our staff is vaccinated,” he said. Grant said he is also planning more online booking, in order to keep people out of lineups. Information on those tickets will be available on the park’s website. The event typically runs from mid-December to early January, and in the past, has seen upwards of 20,000 visitors through the park.

KTW CHRISTMAS CHEER FUND RETURNS TO SUPPORT CHARITIES Annual fundraiser raises money for the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association, Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism and Kamloops Brain Injury Association
T
he KTW Christmas Cheer Fund helps to provide valuable financial support to a number of local nonprofit organizations every year during the holiday season. This year, four charities will be helped by your donations: Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association, Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism and Kamloops Brain Injury Association. New this year to the fund is its donation partner, the BC Interior Community Foundation. The fund has partnered with the BC Interior Community Foundation so more money can go to the charities. Receipts will be given for donations of $25 or more, with the foundation running the online donation portal, cutting cheques to the charities and writing tax receipts to the donors. Every year, Kamloops has embraced giving to the fund, from individuals to groups, it continues to grow each year. “The Christmas Cheer Fund is one of the most important things I think we do at Kamloops This Week every single year,” said Tim Shoults, operations manager of Aberdeen Publishing. “We tell the stories of the community all the time and we help other organizations raise funds, but this is where we are directly raising the funds for local charities and we get to put our money where our mouth is,” he said. “We get to put our readers’ money to great use in the community. It’s one of the things that makes me feel really, really good about being in community media. It’s something I’m so pleased has lasted through multiple papers over more than two decades.” For the BC Interior Community Foundation, the partnership with the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund is a great blend. “This, obviously, is the first time that we’ve played this role, so clearly we’re thrilled to be there and support not only KTW and its charitable endeavours, but to provide

the community with a tax-receipting means of showing their donations and support,” said foundation executive director Rob Miller. The BC Interior Community Foundation began as the Kamloops Community Foundation in 1984 with a core group of volunteers and the City of Kamloops. By the early 2000s, part-time staff were brought in and a process began in 2015 to ensure the mandate of its regional scope, including its service area beyond Kamloops to include the Thompson-Okanagan and South Cariboo areas. To better reflect the nature of that broad, diverse service area, it recently re-branded to the BC Interior Community Foundation. “We’re the most significant charity you’ve never heard of,” Miller said. “Everybody knows what a hostel foundation does or a food bank does. Our mission statement is a bit more complex. We do grant dollars to charitable organizations and sponsored non-for-profits. Sectors from health and environment, to youth and education, seniors, families, arts, culture — it’s all about championing community sustainability and community vitality.” Miller said the foundation likes to encourage the community to “give where you live” through the KTW Christmas Cheer campaign. Donations can be made directly online at www.kamloopsthisweek.com/community/cheer. Donations can also be brought to he newspaper’s office at 1365B Dalhousie Dr., which is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Each donor’s name and contribution is added to the list and will be published each week by KTW.
