The City of Kamloops Let’s Talk website provides a convenient way for the community to engage with city staff and Council about upcoming projects and issues. Speaking up about projects that affect you, whether to ask questions, answer a survey, or attend an information session, is also an effective way to make staff and Council members aware of your concerns or to clarify your understanding of a project. For any projects coming down the pipe, it helps us all to understand and participate in the engagement process, especially to influence any details that may need changing.
The City announced two engagement opportunities earlier this month: updates to the Building Bylaw, which may affect, among others, homeowners doing renovations; and, continuing work on Tranquille Road coming this summer, primarily to continue sewer line upgrades but accompanied by significant design changes that will impact property owners along the route. There are in-person information sessions for each coming up on January 22 and 23, 2025, respectively.
