Kamloops building sector continues prosperous start to 2026 with red hot March
KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops building sector’s preposterously busy start to 2026 accelerated in March.
New numbers released by the City of Kamloops Building Inspection Division show just over $68 million in activity was recorded over 61 permits for March 2026 — nearly seven times greater than the $9.9 million recorded over 65 permits from the same month last year.
The near $68-million permit activity recorded in March is also greater than the near $39 million the city’s building inspection division recorded over the first two months of 2026.
Year-to-date, 2026 is the busiest three-month start for the Kamloops building sector over the last decade and it’s not close. Nearly $106.7 million in activity was recorded over 203 permits, well ahead of $61.8 million recorded over 343 permits in 2022.
