KAMLOOPS — The Canada 55-plus Games are finally scheduled to take place in Kamloops after a two-year delay.
The city was originally supposed to host the national games for seniors 55-and-over in 2020, but the games were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The games feature physical challenges such as ice and mind-bending endeavours like scrabble, whist and duplicate bridge.
Henry Pejril, president and co-chair of the Kamloops Host Committee, says they’ve been planning the Canada 55-plus games for the city since 2018.
“I’m particularly proud of and grateful to the many board members who have been able to remain to see this event through, in effect stretching our commitment to a full four years,” Pejril says. “We are so happy for the opportunity to once again showcase our city on a national scale.”
