KAMLOOPS — With the community debate around City of Kamloops snow clearing practices raging, a comparison shows BC cities are widely varied in how much money they set aside for clearing their streets.

Kamloops budgeted $1.626 million for snow clearing last year.

That’s nearly as much as the City of Kelowna, a significantly larger municipality with a similar climate.

But the budgeted expenditure in Kamloops is only about one-fifth that of Prince George, a slightly smaller community.
