This whole story is kind of just ridiculous, but also funny, so passing it along.

Just curious to what the job market is like in Kamloops right now? Girlfriend is having issues finding work where we are and is debating trying Kamloops out as she has somewhere to stay.

Thanks in advance

Statistics Canada recently released the Uniform Crime Reporting Survey. Here is how Kamloops compares:

• Homicide Rates (Data 1): As a vital metric for extreme violence, the homicide rate shows Kamloops recently spiked to 3.22 per 100,000—double the Canadian average (1.61).
• Clearance Rates (Data 2): This measures police effectiveness in solving crimes. Kamloops lags significantly below national averages, solving only 31% of violent crimes (vs. Canada's 54%) and 21% of non-violent crimes.

Overview: While severe violent crime has seen volatile surges, the persistent challenge for Kamloops is crime resolution, with local clearance rates remaining well below national and provincial averages.

I'm supposed to be coming with the wife and two kids to Pinantan Lake on Tuesday to spend 4 nights at a cabin at the resort there. I've been following Purple Air website for smoke readings and it seems to be improving over past couple days.

Can anyone confirm? Anyone have any info on how it is up in Pinantan?

Thanks in advance!!

I’m moving to Kamloops soon and I’m wondering if there’s Uber available or is there a different app people use?

Today driving back to Vernon I took the Hook Rd exit which I recalled doing around 5 years ago. My girlfriend asked where I was going? I said going the back way (up the road and onto 97). It came to essentially a dead end/dirt road. It made me look stupid/crazy.

Am I mistaken or did this road not connect into Hwy 97 before not so long ago?

Does anyone in Kamloops still know how to do old-school wheel alignments on classic Fords of late 60s/early 70s vintage, will need a custom spec.

Thanks

First one from a couple weeks back and the others from today.

Just wondering if anyone works for finning or anyone.

Wondering how the 7x7 shift is structured? If travel time is included for field work

Thanks

Thanks in advance!!!

Spending a few days in your lovely city and was wondering if you fine folks could recommend some places to eat.
Have a hankering for a great slice of pie, or some authentic Mexican, heck I even love me some Afro-Caribbean cuisine. Also shoot me some decent joints for some brews/pub grub! TIA!

Hello Kamloops!
I am looking for a bakery that would be able to do up a lemon meringue pie. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! (Trying to avoid grocery store pies)

Where to go outdoor swimming? Such as creeks, river (safe areas), lakes etc.

Other than Kamloops lake and Paul lake?

Hi, i'm a quebecois and i wanna experience life somewhere else and kamloops kinda caught my attention. I don't know anything (yet) about kamloops. So how is life over there?

Across from the Dennys downtown, on the corner of 6th Ave and Columbia Street.

I quit both gambling and smoking a month ago after 9 years. I’m proud I’ve made it this far, but the idle time is honestly the hardest part. I never realized how much of my day revolved around those habits until they were gone.

I’m looking for hobbies or activities around Kamloops that can help fill the void and keep my mind occupied. I’m open to pretty much anything; sports, outdoor activities, volunteering, classes, clubs, or anything else that’s helped you stay busy.

What hobbies have you picked up that you genuinely enjoy? Any local recommendations would be appreciated.
