About Kamloops, BC

The word Kamloops translates to “Tk’emlups” meaning “where the rivers meet,” in the Shuswap language. It is situated in the heart of BC’s sunny interior in the Thompson Okanagan near the confluence of the Thompson River’s north and south branches. Historically the home of the Tk’emlupsemc people, it occupied a place of great economic significance for the region as it was the centre of significant trade and traffic routes.

Kamloops was incorporated as a city in 1893, and the city and surrounding area are home to over 100,000 people. It is known for hosting numerous amateur sports tournaments, including national and international competitions, known as “Canada’s Tournament Capital.” Today, while it continues to attract families looking for wide-open spaces and affordable homes, Kamloops is transitioning into an urban centre with a vibrant arts community, including professional and emerging art galleries, professional theatre, music festivals, and other cultural events.
