Hey everyone! I’m doing a race next year in the Sahara Desert and I’m looking for a beach/longer sandy area, besides airport beach, so that we can use the drone. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Has anyone had a referral from the urgent care clinic for an ultrasound? How long did it take to hear from the clinic to actually book an ultrasound? I assume it varies based on the urgency, but anyone have experience here?

I went to the clinic yesterday and was told that someone would call to book an ultrasound but I didn't think to ask how long that would take.

Hi there,

Just have a parking question. I will be parking downtown today from 4pm to 8pm. I see that the paid parking ends at 6pm, does this mean the restrictions end too (ie. the moving?) If I park there at 4 and pay until 6, do I have to move it at 7pm or does the 3 hour max not apply after 6pm? Thank you!

I donated to Hope well Pregnancy Centre because I know that they help low income pregnant women, but my sister is telling me that they’re one of those Christian pregnancy centres that steer women away from abortion? It doesn’t say that on their website and the clinic is run by RNs so I don’t know if I believe her?

Do you like speeding without the threat of getting a speeding ticket?? Then ask if Westsyde Road is right for you!! The signs say 60km/h, but you can ignore that like every other driver in a oversized pickup. Just pretend it's the Yellowhead. It's both fun AND consequence-free!! Weeee!!!!

Hello everybody, what do you guys recommend for an affordable and reliable automotive shop here in Kamloops? (one that don’t rip you off and actually gets the job done 🥲)

Prices nowadays continue to rise up and i’m just a girl who wants to have a working car in this economy, so i can go to work and pay my bills. Please send help, TIA!

Any places, view points I should check out on my days off? Fun activities

Anything I should wary of?

Thanks

Hey yall, just bought a used avi pack and tested to make sure it works. Where are some places I can go get the canister filled and what’s about the price they charge? Thanks!

Does anyone in Kamloops that owns a 3D printer, be up for doing a paid job? I saw this video of a water Lilly bathtub wine holder ( I’ll send the link ) and would love to get it done for my friends Christmas gift. I don’t know much about 3D printing so this might big ask.

Thank you!!

Ok, general question for anyone but particularly for any members of the KCU. Let's all be civil here btw.

So the KCU was recently formed as a watchdog for all things city hall (https://infotel.ca/newsitem/new-kamloops-watchdog-wants-to-hold-city-hall-accountable-for-you/it107074). Its stated in this article by one of the founders, Katherine Wunderlich that known RHJ support and close personal friend Arthur Loring is part of the group and Wunderlich herself and multiple other people involved are also supporters of the mayor. So my first question here is, how do you stay independent and not be seen as just a mouthpiece for the mayor? How can you guarantee that the Mayor doesn't have Lorings ear to dictate what moves your group makes? Clearly you can see the optics of a group made of RHJ friends and supporters saying that the mayor is not the"groups mission." Especially when positions you take just happen to also be the position the mayor takes. Ie, the AAP.

Secondly, you are calling for Bill Sarai to resign as Councillor. Fair enough, what he did was stupid and whatever punishment he gets he deserves. We can agree on that. But please explain to me how you are calling for Sarai's removal from council but not the Mayor's? He also had a private call secretly recorded and tried to have a member of the public read that recording out loud in a council meeting. Him and Sarai are both guilty of the same offense but you're only calling on one of them to resign. So what's the difference? True accountability and transparency would call for both of them to resign. So again, you can see how hard it will be to take you seriously when you call for one head to roll but not the mayors, especially when your group is made of mayoral supporters. Again, the optics here are just terrible. IMO, if you want to be seriously independent here and truly be advocating for the citizens, you should be calling for both resignations.

I saw an ad on Facebook about these guys and they seemingly do everything like deliver and remove the tree if you buy one.

It seems like a good idea but I'm just double checking before I commit. Potentially a newer business? They just did a giveaway so it seems fairly legitimate.

Thanks!

Data in Kamloops continues to be an issue, dating back as far as last year with issues including:

• Full drop: The phone registers no data and displays an icon indicating so
• Partial drop: Some data gets through but requests stutter and fail randomly
• Slowdown: Data data through but with periods of extreme slowness reminiscent of dialup

This would be affecting Telus/Bell mobility customers as well as their subsidiaries (due to shared infrastructure) including Virgin, Koodoo, Lucky, etc with notably bad areas being from downtown South Kamloops to Aberdeen. This is NOT an issue with your phone, it is their network which has not been sufficiently maintained.

I have of course reported this up - multiple times - to my provider, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so I encourage everyone else affected by this to take some time every month or so to re-report. Talk to billing and ask for credit. If you switch, let them know WHY you're switching.

It doesn't matter if you get that great "Black Friday" data deal with 2, 20 or 200Gb/mo if the data doesn't work, so anyone moving here also take heed that this network absolutely sucks here in town right now. I'm not a huge Rogers fan either but at least their shit can probably get a packet through lately.

Anyone know any streets here that go all out for Christmas. I’m talking like a full block where everyone has good decorations. I want to live my hallmark dreams and go on a nice walk with a hot chocolate lol

ETA: Thank You everyone for the awesome feedback. It has been very helpful. To those of you who have DM'ed me I have not responded as it is difficult for me to log in and out without him seeing and well I can only get on here a few times a week. Not trying to ghost anyone just trying to be careful. He has gotten a little more curious and has tightend the rules a bit so its harder for me to access stuff at this time without him looking over my shoulder. At this point I am almost ready to go and I am just looking at flights.

Another question, while I am waiting for a close on my condo I will be looking at staying at an extended stay/ air b and b type situation any recommendations? The condo I am buying is down the street from the aberdeen mall, if that helps at all.

Hi. I am moving to Kamloops in January, I have a few questions.

Bit of a background. I am planning on leaving my abusive husband of 35 years, to start a new life. I will be leaving everything behind, I have been planning this for 5 years. I finally have enough money. But I will be totally alone as I do not trust anyone to not tell him where I am and he alienated me from my family so much that they are all strangers to me 35 years later. I chose Kamloops because he would never ever expect me to go there. This is a throwaway account accessed through a safe pc.

Questions:

I plan to buy a condo where is a good neighborhood, are there condos that I should absolutely stay away from?

I want to be able to make friends in the 50+ community, any suggestions? I am not interested in any romance or romantic relationships at all, not now, maybe not ever. I just want to be able to make friends and have a social life.

What is the weather like there in the winter, is it mild or is it very cold?

Is there an airport?

Anything else anyone wants to add I would appreciate it.
