Kalamalka Bowl football game scrapped for 2024
The Kal Tire Kalamalka Bowl at the Greater Vernon Athletics Field will not be held for a second straight year.
The society that organizes the exhibition college football game announced Thursday that “due to the inability to schedule an opponent for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds team,” this year’s game has been cancelled.
“A huge thank you to our community and local sponsors – especially Kal Tire – for the ongoing support of the Kalamalka Bowl,” Sean Smith, president of the Kalamalka Bowl Society, said.
The first Kal Bowl was held in August 2022 and was a huge success, but the one in 2023 was scrapped due to the impact of wildfires and smoke.
