KAMLOOPS – The City of Kamloops has won an ActNow BC athlete ambassador visit for their display of Olympic and healthy-living spirit in the online GamesTown 2010 competition.

“This is exciting news for our city,” says Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake. “Kamloops is well-known as the Canada’s tournament capital and it is great to see the commitment to sport and fitness in this city celebrated. Having an elite level athlete visit our community will help inspire and motivate continued excellence.”

“Winning this athlete ambassador visit is a great way for people to share in the spirit of the 2010 Games and be encouraged to build their own legacy of active and healthy living,” says Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger. “Kamloops is definitely a great contributor toward our Province’s goal of being the healthiest jurisdiction to ever host the Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

Communities can show their 2010 spirit by competing for the title of GamesTown 2010 and a $100,000 gold medal prize.

On the GamesTown 2010 website, www.GamesTown2010.ca, everyone is encouraged to post comments, stories, photos and videos online that shows why their community should win the title.
