Local Impact in Kamloops

In 2024, the City of Kamloops allocated its share of provincial gambling revenue to a variety of capital and community-focused initiatives. Funding supported North Shore Public Realm Improvements, including lighting and banners, and $686,903 was used to fund the first year of a three-year Community Outreach Support and Clean Team program. Additional projects included $99,989 for playground equipment, $6,143 for park signage, $7,306 for pool toys and rides, $20,000 for the Public Access AED Program, $23,594 for museum restructuring, and $48,485 for parking lot upgrades at the Kamloops Seniors Community Centre.

In 2025, the City plans to continue funding the Community Outreach Support and Clean Team, enhance the Seniors Centre parking lot as part of the first completed project under the Build Kamloops Program, and begin work on the Digital Strategy (DES) to transition permitting processes to a digital platform.

Music in the Park

BCLC proudly sponsors Music in the Park, a long-standing summer tradition in Kamloops. For 31 years, BCLC has partnered with the City of Kamloops to bring free, live music to the Rotary Bandshell. Thanks to BCLC’s involvement, every evening from July 1 to August 31, visitors and locals can enjoy free music by local, national, and international performers. Music in the Park is a reflection of BCLC’s continued connection to the Kamloops community, where its head office has been located since 1985.
