Riverside Park in downtown Kamloops is also undergoing Major changes. A new extensive berm is being built to prevent flooding of the Park each year from Spring run off. In order to build the Berm, the nice little concession building, the children's wading pool, the present washrooms, trees, and walkways have been removed. We see the changes 3 times a week when we go Floor Curling as the 'Senior's Centre is in the park.

Hello everyone. My Goodness ~ 3 months have passed since last posting ... Time is still going on very quickly .... and I'm sad to say ... the state of the world is getting sadder ... starting with the Wildfires, Floods and Washouts of towns, with the ongoing Pandemic and now the war in Ukraine. This picture seems to portray the state of this time in our history. The Beauty of the earth is all around us ...But,the water level in the Thompson River is lower than we have ever seen it before. We have had beautiful big snowfalls ~ at the right time ... such as Christmas ... and so far, this year have not had much rain.
Kamloops has had many changes in our 'downtown' area in that construction has started on an entire city block and more ~ 20 Old houses have been removed or taken down in preparation for a multi million dollar developement of new highrise apartments and townhomes ... called 'City Gardens' ~ Plans are to have a completion date of 10 years from now. These pictures were taken at the start of excavation. There are also many other highrise apartments being built in the city area. Kamloops is becoming a much larger city with many new residents.
