A little throwback to last Saturday—an incredible day filled with impactful events at our venue ✨

The BC SPCA Kamloops Kamloops FurBall brought the community together in support of our local SPCA, kicking off with a cozy cuddle lounge where guests met shelter dogs, enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, and took in live music from Jeremy Kneeshaw. The evening continued in the Grand Hall with a plated dinner, silent auction, and meaningful fundraising moments.

For the first time, the Kamloops Car Scene hosted a car show in Lot N & NT, featuring approximately 150 cars. With a stunning city backdrop and a laid-back atmosphere, proceeds supported the Brendon Stokes Memorial Scholarship Fund—an incredible new addition to our event lineup.
