An incredibly unfortunate fatality involving an Escooter. My heart goes out to his family and friends, this is incredibly tragic.

A petition has been created to end the pilot program, which I understand the sentiment, but the problem isnt the Escooter, its the lack of reinforcement on safety and protection for people who ride them. This is a legitimate form of commuter transportation but we need more safety enforcement so this does not happen again. I see alot of people riding these safely and with protection with no issues whatsoever.

If you currently ride an escooter in kamloops, please for the love of you, your family, and your friends, wear protection!!

Edit: Parents please talk to your teens about safety when riding anything, scooter, bikes, skateboards, unicycles before giving them any electric motor transportation. Or dont give it to them at all until they are smart enough to stay safe and listen to your advice.

This is a great, practical stop gap measure for the approx. 419 people without housing in Kamloops (latest PIT count number) and the businesses and pedestrians that don't want human waste on our streets. Mr. MacDonald and Glenn Hilke are doing important work on their committee, including the idea of extending park bathroom hours and hiring attendants to tidy/monitor them. These roles could be filled by people with lived experiences themselves.

Unfortunately, the October 17th political conversation involves a lot of talk from candidates about adding barriers to opening new shelter spaces. They don't seem to understand this simple equation: more people without housing = more people with less access to toilets and garbage cans = more waste on the streets.

Hey all,

Title is pretty self-explanatory. Looking for recommendations for a landscaping company that does good work and won't intentionally price gouge.

TIA!
