February is Heart Month

KAMLOOPS – Join the City of Kamloops in celebrating the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Heart Month campaign by attending the Healthy Hearts Fair and Pro-D Swim on Feb. 20.

The fourth annual event will take place between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. in the Tournament Capital Centre lobby. Residents will have the opportunity to learn about healthy choices, AED operation, CPR training, emergency response and more.
