KAMLOOPS — Though talk has turned to the possibility of resuming normal events after weeks of COVID-19-related restrictions, the City of Kamloops is not taking any chances with one of the biggest events of the year.

Thursday (Apr. 23), the City officially cancelled the annual Canada Day celebration in Riverside Park, according to a news release.

The decision comes after “consultation with the organizing partners,” namely the Kamloops Multicultural Society and the Kamloops Arts Council.
