Operation Red Nose seeking volunteers in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — Operation Red Nose is getting ready to ride again, and this year will be bigger than ever, with 18 nights of service, up from 15 last year.
Red Nose plans to provide service on Thursdays this December, but before it does, it’s putting out the call for volunteers to ensure streets remain safe in Kamloops.
“The community of Kamloops just loves the service. Last year was the first time in a few years we added a Thursday night and it was a little bit slower but it will build momentum and people will start using the service on that night and the way Christmas falls this year we’re able to do that weekend just before Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.” says Katie Klassen, Operation Red Nose coordinator.
PacificSport is hosting the 21st campaign in Kamloops and will offer service beginning Nov. 24 and running through New Years Eve. The donation pickup service can be used by anyone who does not wish to drive their vehicle for any reason and will be operating from 8 a.m. to 3 a.m. each night.
