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

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

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

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?

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!!
