News While mayor gets headlines, this Kamloops councillor also had a term for the ages

Coun. Neustaeter isn't the only citizen of Kamloops the Mayor has hit with frivolous lawsuits, but I'd say hers were the most clearcut example of abusing the court system to go after a political opponent. Glad it backfired so spectacularly, because we can't have a functioning system if people are afraid of getting sued for participating in politics.

Question Motorcylce mechanic

1 Upvotes

Hello fine people of Kamloops. I’m in Victoria and thinking about coming out to look at a motorcycle. I’d like to have a mechanic look it over before I make the trip.

Would anyone be able to recommend a good motorcycle mechanic in Kamloops? (especially one who might be able to do a house call for the convenience of the seller)!

Thanks!

Question Garbage Disposal

Besides the dump, are there any public dumpsters closer to the city to throw away excess garbage if it doesn’t all fit in the curbside collection bin? We have a big family and sometimes have to bring a bag or 2 to the dump but would be great if there was something closer

Discussion Kamloopsians- how did you actually meet your person?

23 Upvotes

I’m a 28F and honestly starting to feel like dating in Kamloops is a dead end. Apps aren’t working for me matches are fine, but conversations just fizzle out before we even meet, or we meet and there’s zero chemistry. It’s starting to feel like a numbers game with diminishing returns.

So I’m curious about the people who did find something real here: how did it happen? Was it through friends, a hobby, work, a random night out, something else entirely? Did you have to actively put yourself in new situations, or did it just happen?

Also genuinely wondering , for those in their late 20s/early 30s, does Kamloops just have a smaller pool at this stage of life, and is leaving the city the realistic move, or is there something I’m missing/not trying?

Would love to hear real experiences, good or bad. Trying to figure out if it’s the city, the apps, or just bad luck.

News Save the Date - Arts and Culture Forum

Post image
16 Upvotes

If you're like me and excited the Kamloops Centre for the Arts project is finally underway, then save the date on this one and make a note of who attends. I'm seeing a growing push from online commenters suggesting that the Centre for the Arts project be converted into parking + the new RCMP building. It is a terrible idea and anyone the least bit responsible knows it. But there's lots of candidates courting this crowd, notice platform buzzwords like promising a "thorough review" or "refocusing on needs vs wants".

Question Retro media stores?

I’m trying to get rid of some old stuff and I have a ton of old-ish video games and consoles (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, Wii, Wii U, DS, Switch).

Are there any good stores where I can give it to them for cash, or is my best bet dealing with Facebook Marketplace?

News Another Potential Mayoral Vote Split

Looks like Ray is running for Mayor again. Likely won't win but now there are 4 vying for Mayor so there could be another vote split allowing RHJ to retain his spot. Question to me now becomes is will Dever's slate draw votes away form RHJ or will her and O'Reilly split the vote again. we don't have 3 similar councilors running for mayor as we did in '22 but I think the risk remains the same here.

Can anyone tell me what their experience has been like at golds gym? I currently go to planet woman and love it for the cost and hours but I’ve realized that I do better in group fitness settings. I also take aquafit and barre classes 2-3 time a week so I have a really good schedule. However I am a beginner, want to strength train and am kinda on a budget. Golds gym website says a lot of good things but I’m hoping I can get insight from an actual member! Thanks in advance

Question When Bad / Good Things Happen In Kamloops

33 Upvotes

This is gonna be the last thing I post on here for a while, I swear.

Is 'When Bad / Good Things Happen In Kamloops' the most toxic group page on Facebook??

Of course it isn't, but WOW-O-WOW does it want to be!! I'm not a member but the other day, my FB algorithm fed me a post where someone on it made mention about how a deer was struck by a vehicle when it attempted to cross Westsyde Rd. It mentioned how other deer had surrounded it, mourning understandably, and could drivers just be cautious of this family, still so close to the busy road?

And just how do you think this went over??

Some gross jokes from the kinds of chuds you would expect (and MY GOD, is Kamloops home to too many), but more disturbingly, miserable comments from aging women enraged that they shouldn't have to alter their driving habits for any reason, including wildlife that might wander onto our streets. The lack of empathy was utterly disgusting. Am I REALLY surrounded by this many sh*tty people?? WTF??

So yeah, good job Zuck and Meta!! You guys are CRUSHING IT, as they like to say. (And by crushing it, I mean aiding and abetting the tearing of the social fabric with the help of bad faith foreign actors, China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea to name a few.)

There are days when I just wish the gov't would step in and say, "Sorry kids (Canadian citizens), no more social media for you. You had the chance to use it wisely but, instead, decided to use it as a juvenile excuse to spit vitriol at online randos (ex: Don't you DARE make the suggestion that the oil and gas industry is in any way bad/suggest I get vaccinated/tax me/spend my tax dollars on ballet/make me eat my vegetables), join cuckoo-for-Cocoa Puffs far right wing causes and show off smiling pictures of your young kids that ANYONE (Yikes!!) can see.

This isn't going to happen, because that would show the kind of leadership that doesn't exist anymore for fear that the lawyers will come after them (which they would). And, of course, the chorus of "But muh freedumb!!!" So, I guess it's time for me to finally divorce myself from this miserable, digital dystopian nonsense for the good of my own mental health.

Who's with me??

Do I see one person?? TWO!! TWO PEOPLE?!?

Sure. Fine. Great. I'll take it.

Are there ANY companies you can trust anymore?? I've (unenthusiastically) purchased Driscolls berries for years, but now?? ALL of Kamloops big chain grocers carry them. Should I send this video to Save-On?? Freshco?? Ask them how they feel about it?? Or, maybe, I pass it along to someone else??

The old car dealership on the North Shore (sorry, The Shore), across from Safeway.

I guess the last tenant was Spirit Halloween?? (But this year decided to shift its business to Valleyview.) This For Lease property is quickly becoming a ungodly eyesore. Who's going to move in, honestly?? Can I get some kind of agreement that this all needs to be torn down and the land redeveloped??

Discussion 18yo Teen passes away after escooter accident, petition to end scooter pilot, teen was not wearing helmet

Thumbnail castanetkamloops.net
177 Upvotes

An incredibly unfortunate fatality involving an Escooter. My heart goes out to his family and friends, this is incredibly tragic.

A petition has been created to end the pilot program, which I understand the sentiment, but the problem isnt the Escooter, its the lack of reinforcement on safety and protection for people who ride them. This is a legitimate form of commuter transportation but we need more safety enforcement so this does not happen again. I see alot of people riding these safely and with protection with no issues whatsoever.

If you currently ride an escooter in kamloops, please for the love of you, your family, and your friends, wear protection!!

Edit: Parents please talk to your teens about safety when riding anything, scooter, bikes, skateboards, unicycles before giving them any electric motor transportation. Or dont give it to them at all until they are smart enough to stay safe and listen to your advice.
