Thank you very much for the hundreds of best wishes on Facebook for my brief vacation in the beautiful river city of Kamloops. Hahaha many of you made me laugh saying that my vacation was overdue. Well, I never knew my vacation was overdue as I thought I’m on vacation everyday immersed in my work that I like so much and enjoys doing it everyday like a vacation. I guess will take more vacations and connect will many other cities. Please feel free to invite me to your city like my friends in Kamloops did. I will also be sharing more short videos about the content on this weekly Diversity Online for those who prefer videos.

It was interesting to see how the city of Kamloops converted one of their most valuable natural resource, the Thompson River, into a beach, attracting thousands of visitors yearly and boosting tourism in a city the size of Red Deer.
