One of BC’s friendliest vacation destinations
Smiles and blue skies
Looking for a relaxed urban vibe and outdoor adventure in equal measure? You’re
looking for Kamloops. We are a city built with a heart that makes living an
adventure. Our cosmopolitan style is blended with a relaxed, laid-back
atmosphere and friendly people. A city of close to 85,000 people, Kamloops is a
major economic hub in British Columbia, attracting a wide variety of events and
business opportunities.
Our climate is one of the biggest attractions: leisure and corporate travelers
visit year after year to enjoy our western hospitality, urban amenities, endless
four-season outdoor activities, and over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year.
Outdoor adventure and activities are here in Kamloops
No matter what your need is for activities, Kamloops has something to satisfy
them. Our rugged terrain of sand and rocky bluffs make the area famous for
mountain biking, wildlife viewing, rock hounding, hiking and — best of all — our
panoramic views of mountain ranges, lush agriculture fields, soft sunsets over
Kamloops Lake, and the meeting of the North and South Thompson Rivers right in
the heart of the city.
During the spring, summer and fall our sunny skies welcome you to award-winning
golf courses and spectacular fishing and water sport opportunities. In the
winter months, explore the uncrowded slopes of Canada’s third-largest ski
resort, or enjoy cross-country skiing, snowmobiling or snowshoeing through the
grasslands and on forested trails.

the Canada Games pool, 65,000 sq foot indoor track and field facilitiy and

tournaments and from horse derbies to international championship games, Kamloops
has hosted them all.
