Week of July 7, 2025
kids' camps, print making, qi gong, reading, garage sales, music and more
Summer has officially arrived in Kimberley.
Canada Day in Rotary Park was a huge success, and that fire truck misting station was pretty great. With school out and the weather finally warming up, you can feel the whole town shifting into summer mode. Travel trailers are heading out, people are settling into their summer routines, and camps and events are popping up all over.
We've had some much-needed rain recently, but the week ahead looks sunny. Perfect weather to get outside, support local businesses, and enjoy what Kimberley has to offer.
Speaking of supporting local, there's something new for shop-local folks this week.
You'll see it below.
