Kamloops SPCA needing $370,000 more for new shelter

Apr 27, 2017 | 5:30 PM

KAMLOOPS — The SPCA in Kamloops has started to draw up the plans for a new shelter that’s expected to break ground in August. 

The Kamloops branch of the SPCA has been in the building, which predates the non-profit, since the late 1970s. The floor plan on the new facility is still in the works, but hoping to put it out to tender next month. 

“We’ve hired Meiklejohn Architects. They’ve done a lot of BC SPCA projects for us across the province. Nanaimo was the last project that was completed,” said Kamloops SPCA branch manager Alyssa Kyllo.

“It’s going to be a 9,000 to 10,000 square foot building. It’ll include our spay and neuter clinic and our shelter.”
