KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops-Thompson Board of Education is expected to open a new K-7 elementary school in Pineview Valley in the Fall of 2026. With that in mind, the Board is inviting community members to submit suggestions for the name of the new school under the following criteria:

• Name of the street on which it is located (Copperhead Drive)
• Name of the geographic area (Pineview Valley)
• Name with historical significance to the Indigenous rights holders
• Name that is reflective of local, provincial, and national diversities
• Name that reflects a positive image of the board
• Name of a person, if there is written support of a family representative, and if the name is used posthumously, and after five years of their passing

People can submit their suggestions online by filling a Google form. The Pineview Valley Naming Committee will review names and report back on the suggestions that meet criteria throughout the process.
