Posted on: April 8, 2025

NOTICE TO IMPACTED PROPERTIES

Lafarge Road closure | April 14-16, 2025 (nightly)

The City of Kamloops has been advised that CPKC will be performing rail work that will result in the nightly closure of Lafarge Road from April 14-16, 2025. During the day, the corridor will reopen, which may result in periods of single lane alternating traffic.

The closure timeline is as follows:

  • April 14: 2:00 am-8:00 am
  • April 15: 2:00 am-8:00 am
  • April 16: 2:00 am-paving completed (exact time unknown)

During the work, the alternative (detour route) is along East Shuswap Road. Please note the current load restrictions in place on alternative routes as listed on the MoTT website. Please expect delays and increased commercial traffic along the detour route. Motorists should plan for additional drive time as alternative routes are quite long. Please obey all signage and traffic control personnel when travelling in the area.

Questions? Contact City of Kamloops Transportation Department at 250-828-3561 for more information.

Summer 2024 Tk̓emlúl̓pe Project Update

Posted on: August 8, 2024

Take a moment to have a look at one of our sacred areas within our immediate community. The Language & Culture department have been actively taking back our ancestral gathering and ceremonial area Tḱemlúlpe (Indian Point).

We strongly urge our membership to make a presence known down there once again so outsiders are detoured from polluting and overtaking our lands.

Please refrain from drugs and alcohol in this area and enter at your own risk, going off of trails could heighten the possibility of poison ivy exposure during the spring and summer months.
