There are several development sites in the downtown core, one being the former Daily News site. Kamloops really needs a couple more high rises. The current ones are mainly 1960s apartment towers and office buildings. 500 units going in at 5th and Battle will be a huge change for that part of the downtown, but none of those buildings look any higher than 5 stories

I also love Kamloops and I am happy to see this thread started, but this is not a city vs. city thread. I also fail to see that just because Kelowna has a wine industry (which I enjoy very much!) and many golf courses (which I also enjoy, but haven’t played in many years now...) that it equates to pretending to be California?
I like the fact that Kelowna and Kamloops have two very different feels despite their similar climate and geography.
Kamloops is definitely somewhere I am considering moving to with my family when we return, but my wife wonders if there is any Japanese community there (there is one in Kelowna).
