Apr 22, 2024

Lisa Strachan of Tourism Kamloops says they portrayed the city in a very positive light.

“I had a few texts come through my phone, friends from Jasper – some even over in Ontario were sending me messages,” said Strachan.

In addition to the commercial spots, the day-long program featured several live cut-ins broadcast from Kamloops.

Strachan says the entire broadcast was a wonderful showcase for Canada’s Tournament Capital.
