All Day
Sun Peaks hosts the annual "Giving Tuesday" in support of the many non-profit organizations that are truly the foundation of our community. Sun Peaks is a vibrant mountain resort municipality with no shortage of passionate and involved local residents who commit countless hours of volunteer time in dozens of community groups, clubs, and associations.
Today is a day to open your hearts to the many organizations that offer support to our community. Kindly make a donation on this date in support of the organization of your choice. Tourism Sun Peaks will be matching donations up to a pre-set maximum, so your donation will go even further!
Adaptive sports at sun peaks
Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks (ASSP) is a charitable not-for profit running on the power of volunteers. With over 55 volunteer instructors last season, we delivered almost 500 weekly ski and snowboard lessons to students living with disabilities. And in the Summer of 2023, we reached an organizational milestone by offering our first ever summer programs! Since our inception in 2008, ASSP continues to grow and develop it's programming through fundraising efforts fueled by community support.
Because of generous donors like you, we can continue to provide accessible outdoor adventures for individuals living with physical, visual and/or neuro-divergent challenges from as close to home as Kamloops & Sun Peaks, as well as from and around the world.
