A Memorable November
I have always found November to be a rather nondescript month. Summer a distant memory; the beautiful days of fall have begun to turn chilly. The total hours of sunlight are diminishing quickly, and the festivities that mark the Christmas season are still too far into the future to lift your spirits.
However, in true 2020 fashion, this November is serving up a variety of novel situations that are sure to make it anything but dull.
On the light side, many television series, new and returning, that would have typically debuted in September have moved their new season start dates to November. Nothing better than finally being able to catch up with some of your favourite shows, particularly as the daylight shortens.
Much more seriously, the US Presidential Election taking place November 3 has been a cause for discussion and debate as the entire world waits and watches. Regardless of which party and leader are ultimately victorious, the potential ramifications are concerning.
If you believe the farmer's almanac, snow is coming and a lot of it, something all of our ski hills are eagerly awaiting. Should the meteorologists be correct, we will be skiing in November - some fresh air, fresh powder, and mountain sunshine will surely lift our spirits.
Finally, save the date for TOTA's virtual AGM & Summit on November 25 and 26. The tourism Summit will be cohosted by the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) and our northwestern neighbour, the Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA). Registration will open shortly, together with the details of the fantastic lineup of guest speakers and panelists who will take on the difficult topics facing our industry.
November is no longer a month sitting on the sidelines; this month is lining up to be a month to remember...
