Sorry, pessimists, but this is not the ‘new normal’
KAMLOOPS — OVERLANDERS DAY was supposed to draw thousands to McDonald Park on Sunday but it was cancelled at the last moment due to wildfire smoke. It’s a bummer but it was the responsible thing to do.
It’s not the first event to fall victim to the wildfires. Last year, for example, the annual Kamloops Marathon was called off.
Festivals and summer sports events last year and this year have taken a kicking throughout the province and south of the border. During the past few days, several airline flights were cancelled, too.
