Well, just like that it is March 1st.  I can’t believe that it crept up so quickly!  I’m thrilled to bring you something great, at KamloopsParents.Com.  This site is your online resource and directory so check it out and let me know what you think and what you would like to see, here at KamloopsParents.Com.  I’ll do my best to make it happen.  Do you want to get involved?  Do you have something to say?  Please, take  a minute and let me know.

The new logo for KamloopsParents, designed by Signet Studio.

“ A strong earthy, deep-rooted loving red to represent the parents, and a fresh, soft new-born green to represent the young children (the subtle sage green of Kamloops hills). The red leaves of the logo are the parents: a couple, a mother (pregnant as shown by the “bump” on the leaf) and a single parent. The children are between them and together the entire Kamloops “family” is centred/grounded by one focal point—family living and unity. As a team they present an exuberant yet simple flower… which speaks to a harmonious life and what true beauty really is all about— our relationships with each other. The logo also evokes a sense of movement… the action and activity of a family in motion, “doing” things together.”
