Regina & Area

Kamloops, the third largest city in the Interior of BC with a population of 86,491, offers visitors all the amenities of a big city - first class accommodation and dining, a lively arts scene, modern shops, a full range of businesses and wonderful parks and recreation facilities.

The word "Kamloops" comes from the Shuswap language - Tk'emlups - where the waters meet. For hundreds of years Kamloops has been a place of choice to visit. First Nations people and fur traders took advantage of its location at the junction of two rivers to gather, conduct business and participate in sports and recreation.

Kamloops is a vital transportation hub easily reached from every part of the province. BC's four major highways, the Trans Canada, Yellowhead, Coquihalla, and Highway 97 meet in Kamloops. Full service air and rail connections in Kamloops catering to travelers from every corner of the globe make the city truly international.

Kamloops is famous for its hospitality, not just in the community's everyday friendly approach to visitors, but also in its ability to host major convention and sporting events. Kamloops is the Tournament Capital of Canada and almost every weekend hosts a tournament or sporting event drawing people from around the province, the country and sometimes the world. Some other activities include: the weekly Farmer's Market, a world-class wildlife park, nine golf courses, endless miles of walking and biking trails and scenic boat tours.
