Welcome to Your Kamloops!

Holiday Video Greetings from Arjun....

Thanks to the good folks at Mastermind Studios for setting up a video greeting booth at the November Kamloops Chamber of Commerce social and trade show. A great service!

 

Not Really Fishing....

My good friend Bryan Strome reminded me today that I have not posted in quite some time. I think I have a few good excuses. I have been immersed in my MA research on youth voter outreach messages and have recently got back from a research trip across Canada. I hope to write about that incredible trip soon at my personal blog. I also was a little consumed with supporting a great group of TRU students who slept outside all night, last tuesday, to support youth outreach programs in Kamloops. They raised about $4500 and I made the foolish commitment I would stay with them all night. A very tough but highly educational experience. I basically froze my butt off. Unfortunately, a lot of people in our community still don't have another option. 

Anyways, I intend to jump back into my beloved blogosphere this coming week.
