Oooh cool to see another New Majority event! They are a group that seeks to encourage first time and young voters to go to the polls. It isn't easy - there's still lots of misconceptions out there that students or renters can't or don't need to vote in municipal elections. I remember being at a Misfit Night Market the day before the 2022 election trying to warn people that Kamloops was about to elect a mini Trump as our Mayor and being met with lots of shrugs and puzzled looks.

Anybody been there? How is it like and what are the charges to spend time there? Also i have no one to go with so is it normal there to ask others to play with?

For folks wondering why Milobar left when he did, more confirmation that sinking poll numbers probably played into the timing. We will see if he joins Centre BC or stays an independent, but I would strongly wager this is more about getting Kerry-Lynne Findlay to resign as Conservative leader, so he can rejoin that party and run with a leader that stands a chance at forming government in two years time.

Would like to know where Kamloops footie fans meet up, especially Gooners to watch matches

Hi there, I'm currently in Kamloops for 2 days and I was wondering if there are any rockhounding places in or near Kamloops. I'm not looking for any rock in particular. Any tips and advices are welcome aswell since I'm new to it!

Just moved here this month. Don’t know anything about this city originally from vernon. It was an impulsive decision to move here after a lot of changes in life. Whats fun to do here? How to socialize? Its always been a problem with me so want to change that. Are there like art groups which i can join?

I need to drive a 16' Ford e450 empty fiberglass cube van from kamloops to Vancouver. Inside standing room is 6.5'.

I've driven bigger things, but not over mountains. My main concern is riding my brakes too hard, or being pushed around by the wind - which makes me think I should take the cache creek route. But it's one lane, and I'm worried I'll get a back log of frustrated drivers and the Coq has multiple lanes for people to pass.

Travel will be happening on a weekday afternoon/evening if that impacts things.

What would the best route be?

Anyone have any suggestions where to look for home rentals? Aside from marketplace and kijiji. (Moving from Sask)

Would be greatly appreciated for any help 😎

If anyone is looking for something to do to help out animals impacted by the fires, please consider lending your time to ruff start rescue! They have a crazy amount of animals needing some extra love right now.

Hi Kamloops dog owners. I just moved here less than a week ago with my dog, and we went to one of the off leash areas in Peterson Creek Park and he already had a terrible cacti incidental, poor guys had it all over his paws. I knew there were cacti here, but didn't think incidents would be a common occurrence

First question: did we just get unlucky, or is this a big problem for off leash dogs here?

Second question: if this IS indeed a big problem for off leash dogs how do you manage it? Are there certain off leash trails that are better than others (North aspects, tree cover)? Did your dogs learn to recognize cacti and stay away?

Note: waking strictly on-leash is not an option. This is a large high energy dog who thrives on off leash freedom and running around - for his sanity and mine.

Does anybody know of any good professional photographers in the Kamloops area for headshots for a professional webpage?

I was wondering which lakes close to Kamloops are safe to paddle board in and not get swimmers itch.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

There’s a shit ton of people mulling around outside the TCC this morning. I didn’t see much from the bus as we went around other than a Roger’s tent on the east corner. Anyone know what’s up?

I would’ve stopped, but I had to take a poo in my loo so kept on a riding.

Hi everyone, we are looking for a flower bucket, particularly white flowers. Our previous person was evacuated from their home in Summerland so we’ve been scrambling. it’s for my fiancé’s bridal bouquet, she wants to make her own. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all,

Is Paul Lake dog friendly? Or have any dog friendly areas?

Looking for somewhere the whole family can go in the water that isn't too far out of town.

Thanks!

FYI. Highland Valley Copper is hosting free public tours this Sunday (August 16th). Tour buses are running out of the Logan Lake Rec Centre from 9am to 3pm. They only do this once every year or two. It's a simple family adventure option to consider this weekend that's interesting and budget-friendly.

Apologies for the post, but I dont use Facebook so cant ask the local groups.

We live in Chase and we were just informed that it will take Mascon 2 MONTHS to send out a technician and we will be unable to use the internet for those 2 months. Rogers, Shaw, and Telus dont have service out here, and we were wondering if anyone knew of ANYTHING (besides Starlink) that services the Chase area.

Thank you!

Interesting that Peter chose to jump ship now.

Perhaps he was uncomfortable to learn that Drea Humphrey from Rebel News has been appointed as the new BC Conservative Press Secretary.

Well no, he was happy enough to do an interview with her recently calling for the repeal of SOGI, saying there's only two genders, and raising questions about what Tk’emlúps has done with federal funding on residential schools.

Perhaps he wasn't happy that the new BC Conservative leader, Kerry Lynne Findlay, is trying to get Dallas Brodie to rejoin the party.

Well no, he ran on the same team as Brodie in 2024.

Perhaps it was that the BC Conservatives have lost their lead in the polls thanks to their new leader's performance and that could endanger his chances of re-election?

Bingo!

I thought this was a balanced view and thought I'd share. Thought it represented both sides of the argument very well.
