r/Kamloops

I 26, F, am looking to get a membership to a gym in the fall. I have never been a person huge into workouts but I want to start prioritizing weight lifting more for my health and longevity. In 2021 I briefly went to no limits fitness and wasn’t extremely happy with the customer service from that gym particularly when I was ending my contract. I was wondering if people had recommendations of a gym they recommended that was beginner friendly and inviting, I get kind of nervous in environments like gyms. I’m looking into doing some kettlebell workouts so I’m humming and hawing if it would make more sense to get a set vs a gym membership with a variety of equipment. Also are there any gyms that have sauna access besides the TCC and no limits? Sauna access would be nice but definitely not needed. My max budget per month is $55. Thanks:)

My fiancé and I are having a very small, private civil ceremony in Kamloops at the beginning of September. It will essentially just be us, our witnesses and the officiant. We're looking for a photographer for approximately 30–60 minutes to capture the ceremony and take a few nice photos of us afterward. Thank you for any suggestions!

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?

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.

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?

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.

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 😎

Just wondering if anyone has lived in both places?

I have a few questions,

Is the climate very similar? Same summer weather? I’m guessing Cranbrook has colder winters? Just curious how big of difference.

Cost of living day to day comparison including groceries?

Outside recreation opportunities?
Boating/swimming
Mountain sledding
Beaches
Hunting

Best place to raise young kids?

Thanks!

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

Any opinions would be appreciated.

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!

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.

I recently moved to kamloops (M 23) and I am trying to find meaningful connections here and try dating to see where it goes, again not looking for just hookups as that’s what most dating apps offer, is there any actual place for meaningful dating here ? And how is the dating scene in Kamloops overall?
