2025 Fire Season

Would anyone care to tell me what the City of Kamloops has done of late to prepare for this upcoming fire season?? (You know, like what Logan Lake did ultimately saving that village??) 'Cause I'm not feeling all that good about our current state of readiness following what we've seen happen this past month in Los Angeles. 🫤

This City has so much potential

I love it here. i came from vancouver and had lived there all my life, but visited here often for family. it’s been a year and a half and i have no regrets. i’m a big outdoors person so the scene is spectacular year round.

The job opportunities are also pretty strong, there are quite a few businesses always hiring, and the growth of this city is pretty cool

My biggest issue is the opioid epidemic (more of a provincial thing). crime is rising fast and seeing the druggies is never a nice sight, especially when they bring their garbage to the nice areas of the city. the province needs to start institutionalizing these people and bring them back to life imo.

lmk what you think of kamloops and which neighborhoods are best, and worst.

Basement Dryproofing

Not having luck with companies calling back or Google so thought I’d try here. Time sensitive as we leave town in a few days. Basement has some leaks along an outside wall to the bottom concrete bricks and seams. Need someone to assess for dry proofing ASAP. Any recommendations or companies to avoid would be great. Cheers all!

Red lake frozen enough for ice fishing

I would like to go ice fishing this weekends and I heard red lake is a good spot for it. Just wanted to ask Kamloops locals if that is a good place to ice fishing and how's the ice condition over there. Is the ice more than 10inches thick?

Thanks

Sports?

Where can I find information to join sports leagues here in town? Or drop in sports?

Would love to play some Volleyball and Basketball again. Badminton would be good too but I can play most anything but it seems difficult to find information.

Thank you.

Valleyview apartments approved by council. Mayor objects to too much rental housing like it's a bad thing?

I know that I shouldn't keep being surprised ny the mayor at this point but this quote in this article blew me away. Oh no we might solve the housing crisis so terrible? Instead of 1-2% rental vacancy numbers we could have healthy percentages so people could find housing! Rental prices might go down! Landlords might allow pets! THE HORROR!

Snowshoeing recs for the Kamloops area, particularly in or near Sun Peaks

Looking for any tips or guidance for doing some snowshoeing in the Kamloops area, but more specifically what's available and accessible in the immediate vicinity of Sun Peaks. We'll be in Kamloops for two days and then Revelstoke for an additional two. Barring a lack of snow, I'd like to make some snow shoeing happen in both places, but preferably Sun Peaks. Can one park in the Sun Peak resort village area without issue? Are there snow shoeing trails at Sun Peaks that require passes be purchased or will it be possible to access terrain free of charge? Fwiw, I do plan on a day of skiing at Sun Peaks as well.

Thanks in advance for any advice. Please let me know if there are any other relevant subreddits for posting this question? Coming up from the Seattle area and have made the journey from Vancouver to Calgary many times before just never in the winter.

Foot Nail Surgery place?

I need to get a surgery done to remove the side of one of my nail on my big toe, and it has been an absolute pain to find a place to get that done. They are all super happy to ask me to pay 100$ first visit fee so they can tell me IF they do the surgery, so they can hopefully tell me I need to pay an other 100$ plus the surgery on a second appointment.

So here is what I want to know. Do you guys know any place that actually does the surgery and don't need to gouge me out of my money just to make appointment to tell me what I already know and tell me they need to rebook again?

Anniversary date night / weekend away ideas?

9 year anniversary coming up at the end of February. I find Kamloops so bland and boring with nothing fun to do lol.

What are some of your favourite date night ideas or places to sneak away to for the night in and around town?!

Your Speed

Ugh!! It pains me to bring up this tired topic, yet again, but I want to know what streets in Kamloops would benefit from having a Your Speed radar feedback sign posted next to it?? 'Cause Westsyde Road HAS to be at the top of that list - a road that people drive like it's the Yellowhead but has multiple school zones along it. 😡

Just saw four police cars all hit their lights at once and surround a city bus on McGill. Sadly no more to add as I was driving past as it happened.

Tax accountants or notaries

Hi all

Can someone please clarify if the foreign buyers tax applies to residential properties in Kamloops? From what I can find on the BC government page it is exempt but I am getting varying opinions so just looking for clarity.

TIA for any clarification!
