Summer, science and spares enough physical activity per week. Although parents may know where to find programs and services that promote active and healthy living, many do not have the time or money to access them. Community organizations give children, no matter what their financial situation, the support and opportunity they need through the summer to learn, play and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

The North Shore has a variety of activities, programs and adventures the whole family can enjoy this summer. One of the best qualities about being a child is the ability to play and teaching children how to be confident and active now helps make it a habit for the rest of their lives. All parents want their children to grow up healthy, strong and active. Making meaningful connections, developing positive relationships with others, and learning to make good, responsible decisions are all part of the lessons we try to pass on to our children so they can lead successful lives in whatever they become. In May, the YMCA released the 2015 YMCA Healthy Kids Report. The theme of this report focused on children aged six through 12 years old and the importance of role models in promoting their healthy development and activity levels. The report unveiled that parents are finding it difficult to set a healthy example for their children with 85 per cent stating that it takes entirely too much effort to be a healthy role model. That statistic means that nationally, Canadian parents feel their children are not getting

City of Kamloops road construction updates
Strongest man
Chris Davies was the winner of the BC’s Strongest Man 2015 competition held on Saturday, June 27 at Big O Tires on the North Shore. This is the fourth time Chris has won the title of BC’s Strongest Man!
Local state of emergency update The local state of emergency continues to remain in effect for the City of Kamloops, specifically the Westsyde neighbourhood area impacted by flash flooding last week. The City Emergency Operations Centre will remain open at Level
2 for continued coordination of emergency work necessary to restore drainage and water courses in this area. It is anticipated that this emergency work will be ongoing for at least another week; and therefore,
the City of Kamloops has advised the Province that an extension to the local state of emergency is required until Tuesday, July 14. The City appreciates your patience and cooperation as crews work to complete this emergency work.
Family fun on the North Shore – continued from page 1 at 693 Tranquille Road, they are offering young summer readers crafty afternoons to beat the heat and engage young imaginations. Call the North Kamloops TNRD Library at 250-554-1124 for more information and ask about the various programs and activities they have planned for your family this sunny season. One of my daughter’s favourite activities when she was still a little girl was cosmic bowling. I remember hauling decorations, goodie bags and costumes to Bowlertime at 1200 8th Street in the hot sun for her and a dozen pre-teen bowling aficionados to escape the heatwave on her tenth birth-
day. Bowling lanes and memory lanes frame the best spare moments of summers spent throwing rocks and avoiding the Kamloops swelter. There are great weekly specials, excellent rates and admittedly, I too am a fan of cosmic bowling. Give them a call at 250-554-1610 and strike a new family fun experience with a classic favourite. With so much to do and activities designed to engage and entertain the whole family on the North Shore this summer, the kids will have no excuse for whining about boredom. In fact, the only wining I plan on doing is on a patio in the shade. Trina Budai
Overlanders Bridge Project Crews will continue to install deck joints on the west side of the bridge. This will involve pouring concrete. In an effort to minimize the vibration on the bridge and the impact on the concrete pour, motorists are reminded of the 30 km per hour posted speed limit through the construction zone. Please be advised that pilot vehicles will be on stand by and will be used to enforce the 30 km per hour speed limit if needed. A minimum of two travel lanes on the bridge deck will remain open, one in each direction. The Fortune Drive sidewalk is now reopened to pedestrians. However, the asphalt pedestrian ramp connecting Fortune Drive to Tranquille Road will remain closed to pedestrians until further notice. Due to the current high temperatures, construction crews will be working mainly between the hours of 3:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday through Saturday. 12th Street road reconstruction from Tranquille Road to Lethbridge Avenue - On Wednesday, July 8 there will be a full road closure at the intersection of 12th Street and Lethbridge Avenue. Detours will be in effect. The rest of the week may vary between single alternating traffic, two lane directional traffic, and local traffic only restrictions. Watch for signs. The normal construction window is Monday to Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:30 pm with additional night and weekend work. For the duration of construction, bus transit route two will be rerouted along 13th Street for northbound traffic and 11th Street for southbound traffic between Tranquille Road and Halston Avenue.
Mayor’s Awards for the Arts The Mayor’s Awards for the Arts committee is now accepting nominations for the annual arts awards that recognize artists and arts supporters in Kamloops and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

In support of BC Government and ICBC’s Counter Attack campaign, Kamloops RCMP will have active counter attack shifts throughout the summer. They would like to take this opportunity to remind drivers to arrange a safe ride home from your summer activities. Whether it is a game of golf, boating or a BBQ, plan ahead, arrange a designated driver, call a taxi or take transit.

The peak hourly load, the highest hourly demand observed throughout the day, was 861 megawatts higher than the previous Saturday. On Sunday, there was an increase of ten per cent, or 617 megawatts, in the peak hourly load over the previous Sunday.

Columbians can save money during the heat wave. • Keep the blinds down, shade your windows and block up to 65 per cent of the heat. • Use a ceiling fan, ceiling fans are the most efficient option for cooling. Ensure the fan is rotating counterclockwise. • Keep the clothes dryer off, hang your laundry to dry and avoid the clothes dryer to keep unnecessary heat out of your house. • Cook outside, use the barbeque to cook outside to reduce the use of your stove or oven. • Take shorter, cooler showers.

Ron MacLean will host the festivities live from Kamloops throughout the thirteen hour national broadcast, featuring all seven Canadian NHL teams in action. “Kamloops is a perfect setting to unite all Canadians for Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada. It has an incredibly rich hockey history, which will be brought to life all throughout the broadcast,” said Joel Darling, executive producer, NHL special events, Rogers. “This is a day that all
hockey fans circle in their calendar and look forward to celebrating with family and friends.” Leading up to the events and national broadcast on Saturday, February 6, the 2016 Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada festivities will begin in Kamloops on Wednesday, February 3, 2016, featuring grassroots events that highlight the city’s deep love of hockey. The Western Hockey League, which includes the six-time league champion Kamloops Blazers, will also be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2016. “We couldn’t be more excited about Kamloops being chosen to host this four day event and can’t wait to show our passion for hockey and sport to the rest of Canada. Kamloops is home to not only world class facilities and athletes, but a community of volunteers and residents who make us a premiere host for any event,” said Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar.
Fishcakes
A man walks into a fish and chip shop with a fish under his arm. “Do you have any fishcakes?” he asks. “Yes, of course,” says the fish shop owner. “Great,” replies the man,
nodding at the fish under his arm. “It’s his birthday.”
READING ADVENTURE
The Bright Red Book Bus is back and out and about in the community. Pictured above are Tara Salm (L), adventure leader, and Traci Anderson, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club at Riverside Park on Canada Day.
Coming to a school or park this summer... A joint project of School District No. 73, Literacy in Kamloops, Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops, TNRD Library and the Stollery Charitable Foundation aims to encourage children to read through the summer for practice and, above all, for pleasure. Research shows that children who have access to books over the summer holidays have significantly higher reading achievement than those who don’t. Children can visit the Bright Red Book Bus in July and August and choose two books to read. They may keep these books or return them another week. No library card needed!
