Spring is just around the corner and the City of Kamloops encourages you to get active outside. The Spring/Summer Activity Guide is out and new this year are a variety of Active Living programs designed to get children ages 0 and up active outside with nature in mind. Try out the Outdoor Adventures half-day camp, for ages three to six, taking place the first three weeks in July. Mornings will be spent in Peterson Creek exploring and learning from the environment. On June 4, create a magical fairy garden, with miniature plants and accessories in our Fairy Fairy Gardens program for ages six to eight. Just add imagination and a sprinkle of fairy dust for the perfect miniature fairy planter. For the older children, the City is offering a Mountain Bike PreSeason Skills Clinic for kids aged ten to 14 years on May 29. Taking place on real trails, participants will work on the basics of mountain biking, including braking, riding uphill and downhill, gear changes, and improving stability. Green up that Green Thumb and learn how to be a better and more eco-aware gardener with gardening workshops. New this year are three workshops focusing conserving water, working with the weeds in your garden/ yard and growing multiple yields. And once you’ve grown it, learn to cook it and keep it with cooking classes focusing on canning, preserving and pickling. Thursdays this spring, the City invites you to explore our parks with interpretive hikes. Bring your questions, sense of adventure and water on these hikes to learn about the history and the flora and fauna while exploring Kamloops local parks. Starting May 2 for four weeks, the City is offering an introductive to mountain biking, with a focus on using basic skills to ride green trails. This program will also improve confidence off-road. Check out all the programs the City has to offer this spring and summer by visiting their Activity Guide online at www.kamloops. ca/activityguide.

Following a decision made at the City Council meeting on April 5 and revisited again at the April 12 Council meeting, demolition/construction is beginning at McDonald Park Pool. Council decided to close McDonald Park Pool due to extensive required repairs and to replace it with a new community park including a spray area and wading pool. The new facility is slated to open early this summer in the McDonald Park location. As of April 13, heavy equipment will be on site to start demolition of the pool. Filling and leveling the pool as soon as possible is required to mitigate liability issues. The City reminds residents that the area is a construction zone and that it is restricted access for safety reasons. Security will be on site 24/7. The City appreciates your cooperation.

New crowd funding campaign to help Ashes to Dust Mountain Bike Camp On April 5, Thompson Rivers University’s Event Management: Fundraising for Non-Profits class launched a crowd funding campaign for the Ashes to Dust Mountain Bike Camp. The goal of the campaign is to raise $5000 for the bike camp through small, individual donations enough to provide bikes and equipment for five participants for the camp. TRU Faculty of Adventure, Culinary and Tourism (FACT) support the development of recreation-based tourism to enhance the well being of communities. Many FACT instructors and former students are engaged in the local mountain biking community and are members of the Kamloops Bike Riders Association (KBRA), including the instructor for the class, Peter Larose. “In the first class of the semester, students were asked what they wanted to get out of the course, and specific causes they would like to support in their lives and careers,” says Larose. “Nearly half of the students indicated that the cause they would most like to support was improving the lives of marginalized people through recreation and sport.” Former FACT student, KBRA member and lead coach for the bike camp, Ted Morton was invited by Larose to present the camp to the class. At the time the class was studying digital marketing and crowd funding. After the presentation, the class decided to develop a crowd funding campaign for the bike camp. “We are very honoured that the students chose the Apras20a project to support,” says fundraisbike camp

Effective February 1, the Parks Regulation Bylaw No. 35-66 was amended to include smoke-free parks and city facilities. This includes trails, beaches, playgrounds, fields, stadiums, parking lots, courtyards and all entryways to city facilities. The City of Kamloops is committed to healthy living and caring for our environment. According to Interior Health, there is no safe level of exposure to second-hand smoke and tobacco is the number one cause of death and disease in our society, causing almost 6,000 deaths in BC each year. Reduced exposure to secondhand smoke in public spaces will present fewer health impacts to non-smokers and to persons with existing medical conditions. Smoking restrictions may also increase the motivation for smokers to quit. In addition to the positive health implications, smoke-free parks and outdoor spaces contribute to a healthy and safe environment. Smoking produces associated litter and cleanup costs and toxins released by discarded smoking materials can seep into soil and water, affecting plant and animal life. Improperly extinguished and discarded cigarette butts can cause fires. Currently, no additional bylaw staffing resources will be allocated to this bylaw amendment but where enforcement is required a minimum fine of $100 will be in effect.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

RCMP warn of counterfeit US bills Two $50 US counterfeit bills were used at local businesses in early April. In the first week of April a male used counterfeit money twice at two different gas stations in Kamloops. It wasn’t until the second US $50 bill had been used was it was discovered that they were counterfeit. It is unknown if the man using the counterfeit money is aware that it is counterfeit. Police would like to identify the man who used the money to ascertain where he got the bills. This man is associated to a grey or tan coloured four door Ford F350. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie noted, “Businesses should discuss techniques for detecting counterfeit bills with their employees. Information can be found on the Bank of Canada website. If you suspect someone is attempting to use counterfeit money at your business, you should not accept the money and refer them to the police.”

Have you ever realized that children are like dogs - loyal and affectionate, but teenagers are like cats... It’s so easy to be a dog owner. You feed it, train it, boss it around. And yet it still puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting and bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it. Then around age 13, your adoring little puppy turns into a cat. When you tell it to come inside, it looks amazed, as if wondering who died and made you emperor. Instead of dogging your doorsteps, it disappears. You won’t see it again until it gets hungry. Then it pauses on its sprint through the kitchen long enough to turn its nose up at whatever you’re serving. When you reach out to ruffle its head, in that old affectionate gesture, it twists away from you, then gives you a blank stare, as if trying to remember where it has seen you before. You, not realizing that the dog is now a cat, think something must be desperately wrong. It seems so

antisocial, so distant. It won’t go on family outings. Since you’re the one who raised it, taught it to fetch and stay and sit on command, you assume that you did something wrong. Flooded with guilt and fear, you redouble your efforts to make your pet behave. Only now you’re dealing with a cat, so everything that worked before now produces the opposite of the desired result. Call it, and it runs away. Tell it to sit, and it jumps on the counter. The more you go toward it, with open arms, the more it moves away. Instead of continuing to act like a dog owner, you should learn to behave like a cat owner. Put a dish of food near the door, and let it come to you. Sit still, and it will come, seeking that warm, comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten. Be there to open the door for it. And just remember... One day your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen, give you a big kiss and say, “You’ve been on your feet all day. Let me get those dishes for you.” Then you’ll realize your cat is now a dog again!
