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 eachother. The logo also evokes a sense of movement... the action and activity of a family in motion, “doing' things together.

This is a great little recipe and it is super easy to get your kids involved.  My 4 year old did everything except place the asparagus into the oven and handle the hot baking sheet.

There is also some great local asparagus available around town at this time of year!

 

 Ingredients

Asparagus

Olive oil

Minced garlic

Balsamic vinegar

Feta Cheese

1)Preheat the oven to 450.

2)Using your hands snap the ends off the asparagus.  My 4 year old loved doing this and the best part is that you don’t need a knife!
