LEARN MORE ONLINE “Through my life I have seen Kamloops grow and flourish and couldn’t be more proud of this city! I feel grateful that I can raise my family here in a city that offers everything at its fingertips with ease and convenience. The fact that we can be at mountains, the river and endless number of lakes within a short drive lends this city to scenery and activities that are paralleled by few as lucky as us! #myKamloops always stuns when I share my photos via social media to the world and I am always proud to show it off! #myKamloops has been phenomenal at supporting events that I’ve hosted and supporting me as a new entrepreneur! “
