For the second year in a row, we’re proud to be part of the Festival of Trees at Delta Hotels by Marriott Kamloops. The event is a fundraiser for BC Children’s Hospital.
The tree is a partnership between the TteS Language & Culture Department, Sk̓elep School of Excellence, and Sc.wén̓wen. Last year, the ornaments were designed by TteS member and artist Laura S. and coloured by Kindergarten to Grade 3 students at Sk̓elep, bringing Secwépemc stories to life on the tree. Laura also created the tree topper.
We’d love for you to see it in person. Bring the family, take a look at the trees, and vote for your favourite.
