This initiative is a collaboration with the City of Kamloops, local businesses, and is supported by the Community Economic Recovery Infrastructure Program (CERIP) through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Sport. Each exhibit offers a unique exploration opportunity, encouraging visitors and residents to journey through the city’s illuminated landscapes.
