I encourage members to attend the AGM on Thursday, September 11 from 1:30-3:30 pm, at the Kamloops Sports Council meeting room (in McArthur Park). You can help us continue to thrive for another two decades by providing your input.
Our New Website
Please have a look at our new, improved website https://kals.ca/. The redesign committee has worked hard on making it appealing and accessible. Do you notice any familiar faces? Your feedback is encouraged – https://kals.ca/contact-us/
KALS is very grateful for the receipt of a 2025 City of Kamloops Social and Community Development grant to finance the redesign of our website.
Respectfully,
Sue Holmes (sueholmes@gmail.com)
