Kamloops Centre for the Arts means more event space downtown! The Recreation Master Plan project was initiated in mid-2018 and has involved extensive community engagement, during this process the committee asked the residents of Kamloops what kind of facilities they would like to see grow with our community. At Meet in Kamloops we have a collective longing for more space that brings us together in celebration, learning, and enjoyment. Where dancers can perfect their art, musicians transport you into the experience of live music, and business events delegates have more space to connect in the downtown core of our city. This future hub will be a centre of creativity, celebration, and connection, not just for art but for every facet of community life in Kamloops. #MeetinKamloops #ExploreKamloops #MeetingProfs #EventProfs #TourismMatters #MeetingsMeanBusiness #BCTourismCounts
