Kamloops mayor files police report alleging hacking by councillor; Hall states city is simply on the email chain

KAMLOOPS — The mayor of Kamloops has revealed to CFJC News on Friday (Jan 31) that he has filed a police report against a fellow councilor.

Reid Hamer-Jackson confirmed that he filed a police report on January 18, shortly after a January meeting of the Urban Mayors Caucus, alleging that Councillor Kelly Hall had obtained information from the meeting through a nefarious act.

“I asked Councillor Hall about where he got that information, and he just said after running a couple businesses and having a lot of contacts in the media, that he has his contacts. Then I learned that hacking into a meeting is illegal, and so I filed a police report and we will see what happens,” said Hamer-Jackson.
