We don't want to be number 1! The Interior had more distracted driving tickets than anywhere else in the province... I will repeat my offer, buy me lunch instead of paying the $368 fine. We will both be happy!

KBIA was prepping for the Thanksgiving weekend with pecan pie, caramelized root veggies and quiche at our Community Kitchen.

Every two weeks Wade teaches survivors how to make healthy, reasonably priced meals. We have been running the program out of the CMHA Kitchen since the fire at Kamloops United Church.

- His last name is not Powers 🦹‍♂️

Over the weekend, KBIA was excited to be invited to Thompson Rivers University - TRU World first-ever Brain Health Coalition (BHC) Research Forum.

This gathering focused on bringing together people working in brain health, mental health, neurodiversity, and brain injury across Kamloops.

It was an amazing opportunity to connect with practitioners, students, community workers, and educators who all share a passion for improving care and understanding in our community.

KBIA is looking forward to continuing these conversations and collaborating on ways to better support brain injury survivors across sectors.

Our Education Coordinator had a fantastic time at the Qwemtsin Health Society Wellness Fair, celebrating wellness with local Secwépemc communities. The fun continues as we meet our raffle winners and give away bike helmets.

KBIA loves being part of community events and teaching kids and youth about safety — and how to look cool while doing it!
