1993 Canada Summer Games - Kamloops, BC - Donated Engraved Bricks and Pavers on Waymarking.com

Hosting the games required not only 8,400 volunteers, but it took a substantial amount of cash to do, as well. That's where these large pavers come in. The were mounted on a hillside adjacent to Riverside Park by the Interior Savings Credit Union to recognize all those who donated to the games' success. Many were financial sponsors, many donated by supplying goods and services.

1993 marked a significant year for Kamloops – not only were they celebrating their centennial year, but also played host to the Canada Games. The opening ceremonies kicked off as the Skyhawks parachuted into the stadium carrying the fluttering flags of the twelve provinces and territories. Both Her Majesty’s representative, the Governor General, and the Right Honourable Kim Campbell were in attendance and Silken Laumann lit the flame to officially launch the 1993 Canada Games. The Games set multiple records in both attendance and sport – with more than 50 previous Canada Games records being broken. It took 103 staff members backed by an amazing 8,400 volunteers to make Games a success. The home province won the Centennial Cup for the biggest improvement from the previous Games, Ontario came away with the Flag, and team New Brunswick won the Jack Pelech award
