Accessibility is about creating an environment that welcomes everyone. So what are some of the ways Kamloops works to create this welcoming environment? Recreation: The City of Kamloops has adapted yoga, zumba, hockey, floor hockey, and swimming to engage all resident. Visit page 13 for program details. For people who wants to participate in typical programming but need some support, City staff are partners in finding solutions. The ARCH program (page 6) helps with cost of accessing City of Kamloops programs and facilities. Volunteer and non profit organizations like Kamloops Adapted Sports Association, YMCA, People In Motion, and Adapted Sports at Sun Peaks deliver high quality programming for all abilities. Visit page 13 for contact information. Planning and Development: City Council, City of Kamloops staff, and Kamloops businesses are always looking for ways to create a more exclusive city - curb cuts, audible traffic signals, designed parking stalls, access ramps, universal washrooms, change room fitted with equiment to support different needs, accessible parks and playground, handrails, and benches. The Mayor’s Advisory Committee for Persons with Disabilities help inform City Council and staff decisions on accessibility issues. Ground members represent all sectors, including: School District, Interior Health, mental health, employment, transportation, and residents, including seniors. Together we are Making Kamloops Shine!
