Kamloops felt a significant loss when our community newspaper disappeared.
We strongly support reviving a vital source of local news, a key expression of our community identity, and a wonderful way to connect with our fellow citizens.
Local news is the heartbeat of a healthy community and a vibrant democracy.
The Kamloops Local News Society is determined to revive our community paper long term. We’re making great strides with community input, a growing support base, experienced journalists, and strong design.
