Conversations in Kamloops
In-person engagements in Kamloops and Surrounding Communities are now complete. Thank you to everyone who came out to share their ideas and experiences with us.
To see if we got it right, we invited people to read the draft Community Report for Kamloops and surrounding communities and share feedback to ensure the report represents your community.
These are some ways in which feedback was shared with us:
- Through a quick online survey.
- A 30-minute conversation via Zoom on July 9 and July 10, 2024
We had conversations in Kamloops with:
Families, and caregivers
- Thursday, October 12, 2023, 3:30 – 5:30 pm

In each conversation, participants were invited to share their ideas about:

- What gaps in services and support exist?
- What does a better network of services and supports look like in Kamloops and surrounding areas?
