The City

Kamloops is situated in south central British Columbia at the confluence of the two branches of the Thompson River and near Kamloops Lake. It has approx. 92,000 inhabitants.

The climate of Kamloops is a semi-arid steppe climate due to its rain shadow location. While situated in a semi-arid valley, Kamloops has winters that are generally mild and very short with an occasional cold snap where temperatures can drop to around −30 °C (−22 °F) when Arctic air floods over the Rocky Mountains into the interior.

The University
