Wednesday morning gathering planned to bid Kamloops This Week farewell
KAMLOOPS — With Kamloops’ last remaining newspaper distributing its final edition Wednesday (Oct. 25), some appreciative readers are planning a show of love and support.
Last week, Aberdeen Publishing announced Kamloops This Week (KTW) will close after covering news in the city for 35 years.
Former KTW employee Tara Holmes decided the day of the final publication would be an opportunity for the city to wish the newspaper’s employees well. The show of good wishes will take place Wednesday morning at the north end of the Overlanders Bridge.
“A lot of people are meeting outside the Henry Grube Education Centre at 7:15 a.m.,” Holmes told CFJC Today. “The aim is to be out on that big green space… we’ll go in that green space from 7:30 until 8:00. Some people might want to go up on the overpass. Depending on how many there are, we can spread out.”
