KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson has called a news conference for Monday morning (July 15) where he is expected to address his political future.

Hamer-Jackson says the topic of the news conference will be “resignation/consideration”.

In the past months, Hamer-Jackson has been increasingly isolated by the other eight members of Kamloops council.

After a damning report from municipal adviser Henry Braun, council’s Committee of the Whole voted to request Hamer-Jackson’s resignation.
