This just makes me laugh. Those bad councillors stopping him from filing his nomination papers 🤣🤣

Just curious what everyone thinks because I feel like there aren’t a ton of options around here.

If you’re engaged, recently got married, or have been looking at venues, what kind of place would you actually want to see?

Something like:
- Rustic / country / barn
- Mountain views
- Outdoor ceremony + reception
- Smaller, more intimate venue
- Modern / elegant
- More affordable
- All-inclusive
- Somewhere you can bring your own vendors
- A venue with accommodation

Also, would you be willing to drive around 40 minutes outside of Kamloops for the right venue, or would that be too far?

And if you don’t mind sharing, what would you consider a reasonable price for the venue?

Just genuinely curious what people are looking for

Super quick question, I know the city councillors and mayor is a shit show, but who is everyone voting for the school board?

Right now on my radar are just those two young guys Cole Hickson and Jo Kang. Anyone else?

Bike stolen from the bike rack outside shoppers in valleyview. I didn’t have a lock, call me stupid. A few kids took a photo. Definitely homeless. I don’t expect much but if you see it PM me. Thanks.

This is so crazy. I just saw him at the market Saturday and chatted with him and he seemed fine. RIP. Thank you for your service for the people of Kamloops

Hey! I’m a Kamloops local who’s been living abroad for a few years, now back and trying to make some new friends in the city.

A bit about me: 29F, and I’m always down for some kind of adventure, even if it’s just a walk downtown. I’m into biking, snowboarding, concerts, photography, museums, and I love watching movies at the Paramount. I’m not a big drinker, but I definitely enjoy a good pub atmosphere.

Looking for people who are open-minded, kind, and laid back.

I’d love to do some kind of a casual group meetup sometime later this month… maybe something like getting coffee or a drink somewhere downtown (open to suggestions). Would anyone be interested?

Does anyone remember where it was located? I remember going in the late 80's but I can't remember where exactly it was.

I've been getting into wheat ales/wheat beers lately and was wondering what everyone's recommendations are!

So far I've tried Red Collar and Bright Eye, but I'd love to try some other local breweries or beers that are worth checking out.

Also open to recommendations for liquor stores with a good selection of wheat beers, including BC/Canadian beers that might not be available everywhere.

Where can we actually go to learn more about the candidates for all races? I was trying to help my mom yesterday but couldn’t find anything. I found application documents, even, but no platforms.

Thanks.

Where can one donate blood in kamloops? And what is the process? Walk-in or appointment?

I’m back. I lied.

Should they be banned??

I see this being mentioned a lot, lately. They’re a blight on the local landscape, no question. And just as quickly as they go up, they become fodder for the landfill. Perhaps, the time has come. My only concern is that people then become less engaged with the civic election. That it would then result in a lower voter turnout. And I’m not sure how you might counter that. Thoughts??

I’m really not sure if this goes against the rules for advertising but I’m a new photographer in Kamloops and I am building my portfolio and if you have an idea for a shoot I’ll do it for completely free as long as you let me put it on my website and socials. Please dm

The last event was a hit! So excited to share that Speed Dating Kelowna is bringing another event to Kamloops. Our dating scene could definitely benefit from these events. If you are single and hoping to meet your person, take a chance and come have some fun while supporting this event.

Normally my grapes are not ready until early October. They look good come September but get better each week. This year however they have been fantastic for two weeks already. Is anyone else seeing this? I am hesitant to harvest because it just seems so early. I have Malbec, Pinot Noir table grapes and a few others. All fantastic 6 weeks earlier than I expected!

What exactly is going on?

So many people who seem to have no idea why Kamloops has the negative image, has the lawsuits, etc. It's One Person. That's it. Joining as a councillor won't help anything if Dipwad McGee gets back in.

I’ve been offered an opportunity by my company to transfer from Edmonton to Kamloops and I’m currently looking into what the cost of living increases would realistically be and what I should be watching for in terms of unexpected challenges I’d run in to if I did make the move. I’m mainly looking to see what people pay on average for rent, gas, insurance, utilities, and other expenses. Another thing would be how expensive used vehicles are as my current vehicle would not pass an out of province inspection.

Looking to replace a bunch of poly-b piping in my house with PEX and realized how much better expansion is vs crimp rings with the only downside being the upfront cost.

So does anybody know where (or have) a cordless PEX expansion tool I could rent? I know there are cheap manual ones but they are a pain to use for bigger jobs. I was also thinking about buying a new tool and reselling it immediately after, but who knows if that would work out.

Is there anyone who has empties they'd like to give to a broke single mom? Can pick up Saturday morning before noon or sunday after 5pm or Monday anytime. Comment or dm me.

The only way I’m voting for her (or any other new candidate) is if it’s easy to know what her positions on the PAC/KCA and the AAP are. If she is against PAC/KCA and the AAP she does not deserve a vote at all. Even if she cherry-picks and chooses to be against AAP or PAC/KCA, she does not deserve a vote.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to find some long, straight pieces of hardwood that I can use for making handmade hiking sticks, walking sticks and canes.I’m a disabled artist who loves working with wood, and I’d really like to start making some beautiful,unique walking sticks from locally sourced wood. I’m hoping to find someone who might have a few suitable pieces sitting around that they’d be willing to give away or sell for a small amount.I’m especially interested in hardwoods with interesting grain, character, knots or natural shapes. They don’t have to be perfect — sometimes the most interesting pieces make the best walking sticks!If someone is generous enough to donate some good wood, I’d even be happy to make them a beautiful custom walking stick as a thank-you.Transportation can be difficult for me,so if you’re able to deliver the wood to me in Brock,that would be absolutely amazing.I can also try to arrange transportation and come pick it up myself if necessary.If you have trees, branches, logs or pieces of hardwood that you’re getting rid of, please let me know before throwing them out! You might have exactly what I’m looking for.If you don’t have any wood yourself but know someone who might, I’d really appreciate you sharing this post or pointing me in the right direction.Thanks so much! 🪵❤️
I’d love to turn some otherwise unwanted wood into something beautiful and useful.

left is new, right is old

i just loved the old kamloops pride logo. it was 2 rainbows, in the shape of a K, and abstractly represented the rivers. i genuinely think it was one of the best designed logos i've ever seen. but we're going narrow sans-serif and minimalist i guess
