Sun Peaks takes a key step toward restoring healthcare services

Aibiike Alymova enjoyed telling stories her whole life, though she first dreamed of a career in film directing, she found herself in Kamloops, pursuing a journalism degree. 

Her journey in journalism started in 2021, when she moved from Kyrgyzstan to pursue her education. For the first two years, she walked past the office for Thompson Rivers University’s student newspaper, The Omega and pull the doorknob, but every time it would be locked. In her third year, she heard The Omega was back, applied for the sports editor position and got it. She worked closely with the TRU WolfPack and the Kamloops Blazers, learning the basics of journalism. 

Growing up in Kyrgyzstan, Aibiike started skiing when she was a kid and she’s looking forward to experiencing winter at the resort. She is not only excited about the colder seasons, but also eager to see what summer at Sun Peaks has to offer and get involved in the community all year round.
