To the editor;
I am, Kayla Holowaychuk, the North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo Ambassador and North Thompson representative for the British Columbia Ambassador Program. I had the honour of attending the Heritage Splash pad Fundraiser with the Fall Fair Ambassador candidates last month. I helped hand out hotdog and hamburger buns while the candidates assisted in other ways and interacted with the public.
Ambassador programs throughout the province, provide the youth of B.C. communities an opportunity to represent and volunteer throughout their region, gaining self-confidence and learning a sense of pride for their area and province.
The lessons, skills and knowledge I have gained throughout my experience in our local Ambassador Program, as well as the British Columbia Ambassador Program has enabled me to become a confident individual who is proud to be a part of the rural heritage, and new expansions through the North Thompson.
Representing the valley this year is a dream come true. At a very young age I realized that I wanted to make a difference in my community, and I knew exactly how I could achieve my dreams. I am an advocate for the North Thompson Valley promoting our beautiful countryside, breathtaking mountain scapes, businesses within the valley, and our perfect vacation destination.
