Seniors' Light Tour

We wish to extend a special thank you to the transit bus drivers and all of the volunteers who helped make the 2023 event possible for over 600 attendees. This is a free, annual event hosted by the City of Kamloops each December and put on by several volunteers to provide seniors a tour around town to see some of the best lights of the City. After the tour, there is a tea service and sing-a-long at the Sandman Centre. This year's tour took place on Thursday, December 7. Registration is now closed.
