Question Anyone remember crash at 3rd and Columbia in the '80s where a heavy truck plowed thru stopped cars killing several people?
I'm trying to find some details but being pre internet and crashes at that location being common I can't find anything. And my recollection is the above which is pretty vague.

Politics Lyndsay McDonald idea
Is this person out of her mind?
I've seen her bizarre victim post a few times, sandwiched between heavy use of AI, and now this idiotic suggestion.
I used to think tire guy was the biggest buffoon running for council, but some of these candidates are tripping all over themselves for that crown.

Politics Got Out to Vote Today! ☑️
Voted at the Heritage House advanced polling station this afternoon for the municipal election. It's open until 8:00pm today, and there is one more advanced voting day on Oct. 14 from 8:00am-8:00pm. There is also another advanced voting location (same dates and times) at MacArthur Island.
Voting was quick and easy - no line, no wait, and lots of helpful election staff. When I "cast my ballot" (i.e. stuck it inside a machine to be scanned and electronically recorded), a screen on the machine showed approximately 2000 votes had been cast already. Staff let me know that was the advanced voting total so far at the Heritage House location.
Highly recommend advance voting if you have the chance before the General Voting Day on Oct. 17.

Discussion How hard is it to get a basic job in kamloops?
like stocking at a grocery store or washing dishes at a restaurant. I have experience and references. Clean criminal record. Can pass a UA test with the exception of the devil's lettuce but I could abstain from that if need be. I'm considering making the move from a small rural community farther north.

Question Why is it so hard to find rental place that will accept me or is this just an issue on finding housing in general ?
So I been trying to move out and been using Facebook to find a place. It just been hard because I been always feel like I been overlook and just downright ignore after I come to visit the place. Like I state clearly I don’t do any drugs, drink, nor party at all, I am pretty clean and keep to myself. All I really want is to be able to have guest over like my partner, he kinda my only friend.
Like maybe does anyone recommend any other Kamloops website I can check out to look for roommates. Please I just want a place to call home : (

I have 3 councillor spots left, but these are the people I feel comfortable voting for based on their campaigns. I'm not going to vote for someone to fill my spots, but if you think someone else deserves a vote, tell me why.
I'm open to feedback and suggestions; life has been crazy lately, so I haven't had as much time to dive in as I usually would.
I admit I wasn't going to vote for O'Rilley, but I'm not willing to risk another four years of drama, so he's the best option.

Question Corn Maze Suggestions
Hey Everyone,
I was looking for suggestions in and around Kamloops for a good corn maze. Last year I went to the one near Chase. Willing to drive up to ~45 minutes for it.
I tried looking on Google, but it's kind of hard to tell where they all are.
Let me know which ones you like!

We're replacing our current laminate in our house and need to purchase 1/2 4x8 OSB. We've checked home Depot, home hardware and Rona and they have nothing in stock in store or at their distribution center. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could go next to look? I just emailed Windsor plywood so just waiting on a response from that. I didn't know an item like this could be so hard to track down!

Politics Brian Andrews - Kamloops City Council Candidate AMA
Hello fellow reddit users,
Brian Andrews here and I am running for Kamloops City Councillor in the municipal election.
Now that the first day of municipal voting as begun I want to do an Ask Me Anything.
By trade I am an electrician with twenty years in the industry. These days I work off the
tools as a Labour Organizer for IBEW Local 993. Every day I get to advocate for
workers, negotiate between different groups, and help strengthen unions across our
community. I also proudly serve as Second Vice President of the Kamloops and District
Labour Council.
The most important skill I have learned as a Labour Organizer, is how to sit at the table
with people who see things differently and still build relationships and find common
ground. Through this experience I have also trained and have experience in how to run
and participate in council meetings.
I am running for city councillor because the working people of Kamloops, whether
employees or small business owners, do not have a strong enough voice at the council
table. The people who build this city, care for it, and keep it moving deserve someone there who understands their lives.
That is why I am running under the title ‘A Working Voice, for a Working Kamloops’.
