Panhandling & transients plague downtown Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — Panhandling is an issue that many communities face right across the country, and Kamloops isn’t immune.
In fact, the problem of people begging for money or engaging in illicit activity on downtown street corners, has increased dramatically.
So much so, that many area merchants are concerned it’s interfering with business, or making areas where panhandlers and transients gather, univiting to residents and visitors.
