Skating Is Good Medicine

We are the Kamloops Outdoor Skating Association (KOSA) and we think outdoor skating is amazing. It’s fun and affordable. It’s great exercise and good for your mental health. And it’s a way to spend time outside with friends and family. In short, it’s good medicine!

 We are fundraising for two volunteer community associations to help them better maintain their neighborhood rinks in Westsyde and Heffley Creek. These funds will be used for a variety of things, like shovels, a snowblower, liability insurance for volunteers, pavement sealing, skating aids for kids, and hosting events to attract new volunteers.

 Our goal is to raise $5,000 for each association, and all money will go directly to them so they can manage it as they see fit.

 With the prospect of Covid-19 being here all winter, outdoor rinks could be a beacon for kids, families and community members to come together to have fun, be active and create memories all winter. We hope you’ll help us to maintain these valuable community assets so that more people can experience the joy and the benefits of outdoor skating.

Thank you for considering our initiative.

We welcome donations big and small. Every bit helps.
