arts & culture in Kamloops



I support a Performing Art Centre for Kamloops! Exactly what that would or should look like needs to be in the hands of the arts community.


I respect the results of the referendum but since that time there have been many changes in the local arts scene. We have a new Artistic Director at Western Canada Theatre Company. We have a new conductor at the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and we have a new Curator at Kamloops Art Gallery. I believe it is these three groups that need to start the discussion. What kind of performances do they intend to offer? What is their collective vision? From that a design charrette could come up with a new proposal that would likely have greater public support.


As we found out with the successful No Campaign in the last referendum, a lot of other civic issues often cloud the discussion. We need to put a scaled-down proposal before the electorate either by reverse petition or in conjunction with a civic election, but not as a stand-alone referendum.
