The Vernon Winter Carnival community is both honouring and remembering the vibrant life of Alvin Timms, affectionately known as "The Button Man" or "Mr. Carnival." Alvin was a living embodiment of the Carnival's core values—tradition, community, spirit, fun, and inclusion. He wasn't just a supporter; he was the beating heart of the Carnival, and his impact on the community has been immeasurable.
