Spirit of Kamloops

Jul 17 2008

Posted by Krystal as What's Going on in Kamloops

One thing that we missed out on last year but is on our list for this summer is a ride on the Spirit of Kamloops steam train.

The Spirit of Kamloops railtour is a 7 mile/11 km round trip on the CN Okanagan Subdivision mile 3.5 to 0.0 that takes 1 hour and 10 mins to complete from the time of departure until return. Passengers have the option of riding in our custom designed open-air ‘Hayrack’ cars or reliving the past in our 1930 heritage coach ‘ Pioneer Park ‘. Standing is permitted on the open-air cars and moving about the train is also allowed. The train is washroom equipped and has a PA System for safety announcements and the brief narrative presented on each trip.

Operating June through September. Full schedule in July and August includes Friday through Monday evenings with a Saturday morning trip as well. Limited trips in June and September.

On a dark Halloween night in 1915, a train carrying 44 passengers and crew left Kamloops Junction destined for the town of Blue River. The train disappeared into a thick fog while passing through Wolfenden and never reappeared. Many have searched, but none have been able to find any trace of the train, the crew, or the passengers…

Safari Jeff Returns to BC Wildlife Park

BC Wildlife Park is glad to host the return of Safari Jeff and Shannon.

The Safaris have been environmental advocates for many years, having promoted the need for conservation and preservation of species long before these issues were the flavour of the week.

They will educate and captivate you with a collection of their creatures (most are representatives of endangered species) such as Sol, a Burmese python, Julius, a spiny green iguana, and Sir Chompsalot, an American alligator.

One of the most popular features of the show occurs after the performance when children can get up close and personal with a few of the animals.

For example, Father Time, the giant tortoise, munching his lunch (mostly lettuce) is always a great hit. All of the reptiles in the show were born in captivity and now receive special care from Jeff and Shannon. Jeff and Shannon also donate their time and efforts to raising money and awareness for different Canadian animal organizations. They also love to spend time sharing their animals at Sick Children’s Hospital.

Safari Jeff, Shannon and their amazing reptiles of the world have performed in malls, science centres, fairs and festivals across Canada.
