Tournament Capital Centre cleared
The Tournament Capital Centre is back in operation. Aquatic classes are on and swimming lanes are open at the Canada Games pool, and next door, activities have resumed at the TCC Fieldhouse.
But that wasn’t the case on Thursday afternoon after a bomb threat forced 300 hundred people to evacuate the TCC.
“We had a few hundred people exit the building within 10 minutes. Lights were on, coffeemakers were still on, wallets and keys were sitting out,” says Jeff Putnam, Civic Facilities Manager for the City of Kamloops. “We had a lot of work to do last night, but pleased to report at 5:30 this morning, we’re open for our regular operation.”
