Kamloops Voter Asks:
What do you see as the single most important issue facing Kamloops right now?
What are your ideas for managing or overcoming this issue?
As a School Trustee I would say the overcrowding in several of our schools. We are presently managing this problem by installing portables at schools effected by increased enrolment (i.e. nine portables at Valleyview Secondary and five at Westmount Elementary). To overcome this problem, we need to convince the Provincial Government that the city of Kamloops is in desperate need of schools in areas showing increased urban growth - Juniper Ridge, Pineview, and Bachelor Heights.
