Fresh air and a little fun is good for brainstorming
Saddle up your horses and enjoy a city with a rich tradition of western heritage and culture – we’re only a few years away from celebrating our 200th birthday. Unravel the area’s history at the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park and at the Kamloops Museum and Archives, then hop aboard the beautifully restored steam locomotive 2141, ‘Spirit of Kamloops’, that will whisk you back to the golden era of steam power. This year explore the brand new Discovery Centre opening at the BC Wildlife Park along with the new Amphitheatre, the venue for the BC Falconry Festival featuring daily demonstrations throughout the summer.
Get a taste of culture during your next stay in Kamloops too. Our flavour on the cultural scene will have you humming along with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, laughing out loud at live Western Canada Threatre performances, dancing barefoot on the grass to performances of various genres at Music in the Park (summer season), and marveling at turn of the century art work at the Kamloops Art Gallery.
Wear off tensions of the day with a perfect round of golf
With over 2,000 hours of sunshine each year, and very little rainfall, Kamloops is B.C.’s second sunniest city. Beautiful gardens made Kamloops a winner of the national 2004 Communities in Bloom competition. Ideal for golf, there are 10 full length golf courses, and an additional six courses to choose from in the region. Perfect for fishing, hiking and mountain biking too, with over 100 lakes nearby, along with countless streams, rivers and scenic mountain trails.
In winter, the dry powder makes for excellent skiing and snowboarding at nearby Sun Peaks Resort, Canada’s third largest ski resort. There are groomed trails and wide open spaces for snowmobiliers, outdoor skating ponds, and tobogganing hills. You can go snowshoeing, ice fishing, sleigh riding or snowmobiling in our snow-filled wonderland region.
