I would like to publicly thank the North Okanagan Optimists Club for giving students of Vernon a chance to go to the Cities Fit For Children Conference in November.
As one of the youngest delegates representing the Vernon Community School, I had an amazing time and learned so much about what makes a great city for kids and families. Bike routes, public art, more programs and services are just a few things that could make the City of Vernon even a better place to live.
While I attended the conference, I took video and interviewed many guests about their experiences.
Phyllis Dyck, of the Optimists Club, asked if I could present my video at their club meeting. I enjoyed that experience and was excited to share my passion of making videos.
We are very lucky to have the Optimists Club, which continues to support youth in our community.
