A little throwback to this year’s Chefs in the City - Kamloops Rotary Aurora event held here at the TRU Conference Centre 🍽️✨

Another incredible year filled with delicious dishes, divine drinks, and even better company. With 16 local restaurants and 15 beverage providers, guests enjoyed an impressive variety of culinary creations, perfectly paired with beer, wine, and non‑alcoholic cocktails.

Even more meaningful—funds raised support the Kamloops Aurora Centennial Rotary Club and their incredible work in our community, helping provide social supports and proper nutrition for youth in need right here in Kamloops. ❤️
