Month of Giving

Sun Peaks is expanding Giving Tuesday to host the annual "Month of Giving" in support of the many non-profit organizations that are truly the foundation of our community. Sun Peaks is a vibrant mountain resort municipality with no shortage of passionate and involved local residents who commit countless hours of volunteer time in dozens of community groups, clubs, and associations.

November is the month to open your hearts to the many organizations that offer support to our community. Kindly make a donation this month in support of the organization of your choice. Tourism Sun Peaks will be matching donations up to a pre-set maximum, so your donation will go even further! 

Adaptive sports at sun peaks

Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks (ASSP) is a charitable not-for profit running on the power of volunteers. With over 55 volunteer instructors last season, we delivered almost 500 weekly ski and snowboard lessons to students living with disabilities. And in the Summer of 2023, we reached an organizational milestone by offering our first ever summer programs! Since our inception in 2008, ASSP continues to grow and develop it's programming through fundraising efforts fueled by community support.

Because of generous donors like you, we can continue to provide accessible outdoor adventures for individuals living with physical, visual and/or neuro-divergent challenges from as close to home as Kamloops & Sun Peaks, as well as from and around the world.

We are in the process of upgrading our fleet of old sit skis with brand new technologies. With your help this Month of Giving, we can purchase one more sit ski, bringing our grand total to 3 new sit skis!

The cabin is Sun Peaks' oldest historical structure and built by a local cattle association in the late 1940s. This summer, Sun Peaks Historical Society was awarded $5000 from HeritageBC Legacy Fund. The money allowed SPHS to hire HeritageWorks, an international conservation company, to conduct a survey of the cabin and site. The Board is requesting funds for Directors Insurance. We are also asking to the community to donate funds for materials, labour and other expenses.
