Area Data and a little history:

Kamloops is located close to midway between Vancouver and Calgary and has a population of 80 k and rising. It has all the usual facilities as hospital, theater, exhibition grounds etc. North and South Thompson Rivers converge in Kamloops and continue their travel to Vancouver. The name Kamloops is derived from the Indian word "Kahm-o-loops" which means "meeting of the waters". It was a small country town before WW1 with apple growing as the major agricultural industry. When the able men went to war, the aqueducts for the irrigation system could not be maintained by the remaining older men and women and the apple growing declined. In some places the remains of the old flumes are still visible along the Yellowhead highway.
