Research shows that regular physical activity and social activities improves health and wellness. Doing activities together with other girls and women support you in learning new skills, exploring your community, trying new things, making friends, getting active, and having fun.
The City of Kamloops in partnership with Kamloops Immigrant Services, PLAYKamloops and BGC Kamloops are excited to announce a new programming initiative for newcomer women and girls. This program would not be possible without the $15,000 support of the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association Gender Equity in Recreational Sport: Community Grants Initiative.
Drop your kids off and join our Women’s night! Same times, same dates, same locations!
All activities take place on Thursday nights from 5:30–6:30 pm at McDonald Park.
