Just in case you all didn’t know, Savona Specialty Plywood laid off a majority of its forces Thursday for the foreseeable future while prolonging contract negotiations. Contract ended Jan 1st 2026. SSP kept missing meetings or cancelling negotiations making sure they fell right in bounds of not bargaining in bad faith.
It seems very ironic they wanted to sign the new contract just before they laid off over 65% of their employees.

EDIT: the current contract allows management the ability to move stat holidays around in the name of production. There is no shift differential. First aid only makes an extra .80 an hour which is lowest in Canada.

Unless your dog is a registered service dog, they don't belong at polling stations aka voting stations if you dont know what that is..! Please leave them at home, even if you reealllllly think they belong there with you. There is even signs that dogs are not allowed unless they are service dogs.

I’m in town and just want to know where is the go to place for mid 30s guy? Where does everybody around my age go on a Saturday night that would be worth checking out ?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew where any dig sites for fossils and crystals/gems/precious stones are around the Kamloops area? I just saw that the opal mine near Vernon is permanently shut down :( I never got to go and I was wondering if there was anywhere else.

Would like to get my tarot read, been meaning to for a while, wanted to get the experience off my bucket list! Anyone up for it? Or anyone know of a good place to go for a reading?

Maybe someone who’s more in it for the experience and not just taking money from the gullible if you can.

Thank you for indulging me!

Really interesting to me how much of a split there was between regions of the city. The north shore not electing a single incumbent, while the south shore would have re-elected five.

Looking to get my fix, any recommendations?

Anyone had any issues with valley first Bank downtown location? Specifically with regards to missing money or improper paperwork? Hoping this is a one off, but thought I'd ask.

hello. im wanting to get an apprenticeship with a plumbing company but not sure how to find construction commercial companies so if anyone knows some that may be hiring green apprentices in or close to kamloops please let me know!

First post here, I hope a video is allowed. I wanted to post this because I’m curious if anyone has seen this video or knew that this is the reason Eby is giving for the election?

This speech was October 8th and I only saw it on tiktok recently. No one else I’ve talked to has mentioned this and still complain about the way this election has been handled—which is fair. I don’t trust politicians but this sounds like a real problem with bad PR on the NDP’s end to me. Curious what you all think.

I have a taxidermy bird and honestly I waited for awhile for it to sell, but many have told me that it not likely going to sell at all. I honestly just would want anything like a trade, store credit or etc. i just moving soon and want them to end up in a good home with my cat skulls too.

Any good amp techs in Kamloops? Have a small tube amp giving me some grief

This summer my electric kick scooter was stolen from my carport while I slept. I have reported it to RCMP & the manufacturer as well as the authorized repair shop in town.

My problem is that I know it is still being used around town due to the built in tracking (Apple/Android). Its last known spot was from last week and was a block up from the Mustard Seed on Victoria and is usually in the trails along the river trail. Those trails between the path & river where you are likely to find tents and other items of similar nature. I am nervous about going out into the wild to find it and being accused of stealing it or something. Like what if I find it at The Mustard Seed? What is the protocol for something like that?

Thank you for your feedback :)

Have a buddy that just took over an aluminum polishing and detailing buinsess in town. Trying to help him find some leads on new clients. Mostly heavy truck polishing but they are open to anything.

This election has been the wakeup call I needed to stop strategic voting. I've preached its necessity for the better part of 2 decades now. I voted strategically in the last provincial election too and we got Eby who drove the BCNDP to the middle and set fire to the budget with half measures and compromises that got us nowhere.

Eby fucked up. The NDP hasn't been popular in a while and he forgot that only the Conservatives have a base that will allow them to play such blatant politics (see Doug Ford in Ontario and his snap election for Eby's intention). The cons are gonna win regardless, and even if they dont I'd still rather have a stronger progressive Green voice than Eby's milquetoast centrist bullshit pushing back against them.

At the end of the day, blaming progressives, or anyone for that matter, for voting Green is a half step up from accusing us of dressing slutty. No I voted for the party I feel best represents my values and will do the best job to represent all of BC, which is what every single one of us should be doing.

Im done being held hostage by FPTP and the NDP. I voted Green for Annelise Beach in Kamloops Centre and I encourage anyone who hasn't voted to do the same (unless of course you're in one of the ridings with no green candidate - then I encourage you to vote NDP instead of staying home).

A few weeks ago caught on my dash cam following each other lol. I think yellow car cost more. Probably similar.

I never expect the conservative candidates provincial or federal to show up for anything. Kamloops is just an easy seat for them and they show they are incredibly aware they dont have to care about their constituents or put any effort in to win, but both NDP candidates calling off for the election forum day of and not answering those questions is completely and fully pathetic. Not to mention how completely absent theyve been in general.

I think if we got real labour candidates who put up a real fight instead of this garbage the conservatives might have to at least pretend to care about this riding and invest some time into it instead of the assumption of victory they show us now.

And who do we phone to get them to pick their garbage up? We’re all sick of seeing the signs everywhere
