Kamloops
Where the rivers meet — BC's tournament capital in the heart of the dry Interior.
Kamloops sits at the confluence of the North and South Thompson rivers, a city of 100,000 that serves as the commercial and cultural hub of the BC Interior. The name comes from the Secwépemc word meaning 'where the rivers meet,' and the rivers remain central to the city's identity — the Thompson River waterfront is one of the finest urban riverfronts in BC. Kamloops has earned a reputation as BC's Tournament Capital, hosting more provincial and national sporting events than any other city of its size in Canada. The city's sports facilities are world-class, and the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL are a beloved community institution. Sun Peaks Resort, just 45 minutes north, is BC's second-largest ski resort and a year-round mountain destination with excellent skiing in winter and hiking and mountain biking in summer. The surrounding landscape is dramatic — dry grasslands, sagebrush hills, and the Thompson River canyon create a landscape unlike anywhere else in BC. Kenna Cartwright Park, the largest municipal park in BC, offers hiking and mountain biking with panoramic views over the city and the rivers. The BC Wildlife Park is an excellent family attraction, home to over 65 species of BC wildlife including grizzly bears, cougars, and wolves. Kamloops has a thriving dining scene, with excellent restaurants representing cuisines from around the world.
