Memorial parade and gathering Wednesday

This Wednesday, May 20 at 2 p.m., our community will gather at the Kimberley Platzl gazebo to honour Doug, Bob, Kim, and Shawn—20 years after the tragic Sullivan Mine incident.

Due to an emergency water main repair at the entrance to the BC Ambulance station, organizers have adjusted the memorial parade route to the Platzl gazebo.

The memorial parade will now follow the updated route shown in the map below. They will walk along St. Mary’s Ave to Spokane Street in front of City Hall, and then through the Platzl.

Please expect brief traffic impacts in the area between 1:40 and 2 p.m.

Thank you for your patience as crews complete this urgent repair. We look forward to coming together to remember and honour these four lives.
