Diverse Kamloops

Kamloops is a place where the rivers, land, and people meet. In our city, we celebrate our differences, support one another through adversity, and find common ground in our passion for community. No matter where you’re from or who you are, we hope you feel included and connected to something bigger here. You’re safe and accepted, whether you’re attending a powwow, visiting the rainbow crosswalk, hitting the accessible trails, or swapping stories over a pint at a local craft brewery. Come for the wide open spaces and outdoor adventure. Stay for the sense of community.

Raise the rainbow flag

The LGBTQ2S+ community thrives in Kamloops with LGBTQ2S+ owned businesses and vibrant Pride events. Every August, the city bursts with joy and rainbows as we host Kamloops Pride, complete with an inclusive parade and events that champion diversity. You’ll also find Pride events throughout the year, including mixers, book clubs, drag bingo, and bowling. The celebrations continue through the winter with Peak Pride at Sun Peaks Ski Resort, a high-altitude haven for fun and solidarity.
