Just throwing this out there, there is a Couture Fashion Show in Kamloops to help raise money for missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls.

Ticket prices are $23 and proceeds go to the families of Sisters in Spirit, an organization that advocates for our missing women.

Designs are available for purchase after the show.

The show is put on at the Kamloops Indian Band Powwow Round located on No. 5 Yellow head Highway. The show is a four hour event from 7:00pm to 11:00pm on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

If you live in the Kamloops area or the interior, this is a great way to see the work of some of Kamloops’ best fashion designers while supporting a good cause.

If you’re interested you can purchase tickets here

If you want to know more about what Sisters in Spirit, here is a website that explains it.

CBC’s Vote Compass is now live, and I encourage all of my followers to take it. Better yet, I encourage everyone to tell their friends and family to take it, because education is power.

This election is extremely important, and it is vital that we do our imperative civic duty of being informed, and voting. Vote Compass helps us to see things clearly, and to make informed decisions.

vote compass has enormous flaws like any political spectrum/compass/spinning wheel of death test. don’t use this to tell you how you should vote, but if you’d like to use it to inform your decision (keeping in mind that doing your own research is always a good idea) then the new vote compass is up!
