Name and Logo
We are proud to share that the Complex name is Chief Louis Crossing. The team considered many, many options and continually came back to this name. It represents the physical crossing of the Yellowhead Highway and Shuswap Road and where the Chief Louis Center East and West Collide. This name also continues to honour the legacy of Chief Louis who was recognized as one of the best chiefs in the Interior and a dominant figure in the Kamloops region when he was chief from 1855 to 1915.
Next Steps
We will be launching a website for Chief Louis Crossing and continuing to engage tenant leads over the coming months. In the meantime, your contact point will continue to be our Project Management team:
