Casa Loma Community held its Halloween afternoon of pumpkin painting, games with costumes on kids and adults (?). It was a lot of fun!

The weather broke and the sun came out for the afternoon. The event took place in Dupuis Park, with families playing games and painting the pumpkins. Oh, and to have a hot dog and hot chocolate.

OKANAGAN WILDFIRE RESPONDERS GRATITUDE EVENT (OWRGE)

The event included live music, food, special activities, and a formal gratitude ceremony. This day was selected to allow sufficient time for our wildfire responders to wrap up their efforts and get some well-deserved rest.

The event took place at Memorial Park in West Kelowna on Saturday, April 27th , 2024.

A message from The Committee

Hello community members. 

The Okanagan wildfires had a profound effect on so many individuals however due to the efforts of so many firefighters, first responders and support workers the impact on our community was greatly mitigated. Our OWRGE committee, made up of residents, neighbourhood associations and service clubs, partnered with local governments to ensure all wildfire responders are appropriately acknowledged for their heroic efforts.

Honour coins (also known as Challenge Coins) were given to emergency responders. The Honour coin serves as a powerful symbol that goes beyond their tangible form. They carry with them the weight of honour, recognition, and shared experiences. Our goal is to present every emergency responder involved in the 2023 Okanagan Wildfire with a unique challenge coin for their dedicated service and sacrifices.

A message from
Fire Chief Jason Brolund

In partnership with the Okanagan Wildfire Responders Gratitude Event Committee, I would like to invite the community to an afternoon of reflection, appreciation, celebration, and recognition for the responders and volunteers who played a crucial role in helping our community during the 2023 wildfire season. The Event Committee has been working hard to ensure the day is full of fun activities, including live music, food and most importantly an opportunity for our community to come together to say thank you. A big THANK YOU to the local neighbourhood associations, services clubs and residents who have come together to host this event.
