Here's What an Issue Looks Like
Kamloops Digest — Thursday, February 20, 2026
City Hall
The Red Bridge replacement won't see a dime from the new provincial budget — and the next update won't come until fall. Kamloops has been waiting on funding for this crossing, and the 2026 BC budget passed without any commitment.
Tourism Kamloops is getting closer to building something iconic — just not sure where yet. The organization has locked in costs for three proposed landmark structures and is now evaluating potential sites.
Safety
BC Wildfire Service and the Lower Nicola Band are planning a cultural burn near Nicola Mameet reserve in early March. Traditional land stewardship and modern fire management working together.
News

TRU WolfPack women's volleyball is hosting playoff games for the first time in program history. A milestone for a program that has been quietly building toward this moment.
The BCICF Christmas Cheer Fund is sending nearly $30K to three Kamloops charities. A quiet but meaningful injection heading into the end of winter.
