Kamloops non-profits weathering high gas prices waiting for respite
KAMLOOPS — It’s something you’ve likely already noticed at the pumps — fuel prices have sky-rocketed to nearly $2 per litre in Kamloops.
The inflated costs are all across Canada and British Columbia is experiencing particularly high prices. For the average driver it means extra money spent on filling the tank. And for non-profits and other organizations who rely on transportation to provide services, it means hundreds of extra dollars per month.
“For the bigger buses, it’s probably around $250-ish, and now they’re creeping up to the $400 mark,” BGC Kamloops Executive Director Traci Anderson says it’s getting pricey to fill up their vans and buses.
