City of Kamloops to host open houses for North Shore Neighbourhood Plan

Sep 3, 2020 | 5:08 PM

KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has a pair of open houses regarding the North Shore Neighbourhood plan coming up. However, due to COVID-19, those open houses won’t be like previous community engagement sessions.

Jason Locke, Community Planning and Sustainability Manager with the City of Kamloops, says due to the pandemic, the meetings will be capped at 50 people — 45 members of the public and 5 city staffers. The events are scheduled for September 16 and 17 and will take place at the Holiday Inn on Tranquille Road.

“Masks will be mandatory because this is a private facility, but we’ll be handing out masks. There will be sanitary stations, people will be practicing safe physical distancing, we’ll have signs. That’s a way we can ensure we host these events in a safe manner.”

Locke says there will an option for people who don’t feel comfortable attending in person to take part online, as well as provide feedback. He’s hoping the open houses are well attended because these sessions are crucial to the future of the North Shore neighbourhood.

“We’re providing these two options — in-person and online — because it’s important that we understand what are the key issues. This helps us look at the policies — what’s working, what isn’t working. The 2008 North Shore Neighbourhood plan, we’re not reinventing the wheel. There’s a lot of good policies that still exist. There’s good energy on the North Shore. How do we retain that energy.”
