KAMLOOPS — The Tournament Capital is following BC’s new home construction trends, for better and for worse.

New numbers from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation show Kamloops down 47-percent last month – with only 37 starts recorded.

The entire province was down significantly in November as well.

But Kamloops is up slightly for the year-to-date – and according to CMHC Senior Market Analyst Taylor Pardy – that’s alongside a provincial uptick of about 11-percent.
