Our Vision

The Kamloops Adult Learners Society was established with a vision of expanding educational opportunities for citizens in their retirement years.

We believe that participation in continuous learning benefits the individual by enhancing quality of life, and is conducive to good health in mind, body, and spirit. In addition, KALS provides a forum for the sharing of knowledge and ideas with others in a non-threatening venue.

Learners contribute to the betterment of their community through interaction and partnerships with other community groups.

Peer instruction and peer learning are fundamental principles of the Society; thus the expertise of retired individuals is utilized is a valuable resource in organizing programs and instruction of courses.

As a voluntary, non-profit Society, KALS endeavors to keep tuition costs affordable in order to include access for those with a modest income.
