Similkameen Pharmacy's Enchanted Forest float. It was great to be in the parade and see so many community members out to enjoy it.

Thank you to Nyree, Nicole, Julie, Emma, Sophie, Gurneet and Nicki for making it happen.

Sad to see that I don't have a picture with the stove lit... If you do, please share it with us.

Best of the 2025 Holiday Season!

As we start to enter the holiday season we would like to to share this heartfelt message from Board Chair, Selena Despres, on behalf of the LSCSS Board of Directors.

It’s That Time of Year Again

The festive season—filled with company, food, and entertainment—is often seen as a time of joy. But for some in our community, it can be the most challenging time of the year. Social isolation, financial strain, mental health struggles, and shifting family dynamics can turn what should be a season of celebration into one of hardship. After all, what are holidays when spent alone, in poor health, or without the means to join in the festivities?

Having lived in this community for many years, I look ahead with compassion for those whose circumstances differ from mine. I ask myself: What can I do to make their experience better? The gift of connection should never be underestimated—a simple visit to a neighbor can mean so much. Yet, individual needs are often complex, and when neighborly support isn’t enough, social services can provide confidential, professional assistance.

Keremeos is fortunate to have LSCSS—locally known as The Society—an organization dedicated to enhancing well-being by creating opportunities and supporting independence. For over five decades, their work has touched every corner of our community. Toddlers, youth, adults, and seniors all benefit—directly or indirectly—from more than 30 programs offered year-round. But many of these programs operate under the strain of stagnant funding, limiting their reach and impact.
If you are in a position to help, consider joining me in making a tax-deductible donation to LSCSS. You can choose to support a specific program or make a general contribution. Either way, your generosity will have a meaningful impact on people you know and care about.

Come by and see the incredible work this team is doing—and discover how you can be part of making a difference. Donations can be made to this campaign at: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/season-of-connection-donation-campaign

The walking group continues to meet every Thursday this month. Join us today, at 9am in front of Victory Hall. And once fall starts, I encourage the group to continue on, even if I won't be able to join regularly. Fall is a wonderful season for walks, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity! 🍂🍁🥾

Summer is dwindling to an end, bringing much appreciated cooler days. Join us to the walking group before the conclusion of this years program. We begin our walk today, Thursday, August 28, from Victory Hall and would love additions to our varied group. Bring a friend or a neighbour and see you at 9am.

It's back to school and Labour Day coming up. Plan to visit us before Monday for those last minute items.

Look who came in second at this year's Keremeos Amazing Race! Kudos to RDOS and community partners for putting such a fun event on. We live in a fantastic community.

Heard about the amazing race? Keremeos will have its own version this Wednesday, Aug 13th. But more teams must sign up. Similkameen Pharmacy will be competing, so what about you? Come for a fun time. (And the race doesn't start till 5pm, so no need to worry about a late start if your business keeps you busy past 4:30pm.

Registration closes soon, so register your team and see you for a bit of friendly competition!

See you there😁

A bit wet out here today, but who doesn't need a little extra watering! So don't stay in: get on that seldom used rain jacket and come out to the walking group. Meet you at 9am today, Thursday, at Victory Hall. See you soon!
