Today, on World Kindness Day, Friday, November 13, the Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan will kick off its national tour in Peachland, B.C., the 2025 winner of Canada’s Kindest Community.
Peachland was chosen through Coca-Cola’s nationwide search for Canada’s Kindest Community, where heartfelt nominations from residents – big and small – stood out above the rest. Neighbours opened their homes to people displaced during local wildfires, and community organizations like the Peachland Wellness Centre and the Community Food Bank were recognized for their meaningful work.
The Caravan stop in Peachland is part of the community’s prize, alongside the $100,000 awarded to the Central Okanagan Foundation earlier this year, to directly support local needs.
The festively decorated Coca-Cola Holiday Caravan will be at IGA Peachland (5500 Clements Crescent) between 4 and 6 p.m.
Representatives from Coke Canada Bottling and Coca-Cola, the Central Okanagan Foundation and elected officials including Macklin McCall, MLA for West Kelowna–Peachland and Peachland Mayor Gail Mansell will be attending.
Photos with Santa and refreshments will also be offered during the event.
24 stops are planned in B.C. as part of the cross Canada tour.
