A group of workers in Kamloops, B.C., are believed to be the first staff at a Canadian A&W restaurant to successfully unionize.

Thirteen people who work at the Valleyview location signed union cards and were certified with the B.C. Labour Relations Board on Friday, according to Local 993 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW).

Brian Andrews, an organizer for Local 993, says the workers have issues with how the managers are treating them and they are looking for clarity and consistency when it comes to the discounts they receive on A&W meals during their shifts.

Ugh. Apparently television, radio, billboard and newspaper ads weren’t enough for these freaks.

Hey Kamloopsians, who wants to pool money for pro-choice ads on buses?

Residential school deniers tried to dig up suspected unmarked grave sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, not believing a May 2021 announcement from the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc that as many as 215 Indigenous children had been buried there, according to a new report. "Denialists entered the site without permission. Some came in the middle of the night, carrying shovels; they said they wanted to 'see for themselves' if children are buried there," said a Friday report from Kimberly Murray, the independent special interlocutor for missing children and unmarked graves and burial sites associated with Indian Residential Schools. She did not say who the denialists were or when they came to the site. But the unauthorized visits to the site are the work of a "core group" of Canadians who continue to deny, defend or minimize the physical, sexual, psychological and emotional abuse inflicted on Indigenous children in the Indian Residential School System "despite the indisputable evidence of survivors and their families," Murray said at a Friday news conference.

Landscape Painting for a Friend Well, this is a little different for me. I haven’t painted a landscape in over ten years, although once did plenty and sold most through galleries and a Vancouver art consultant. Was a big challenge on account of my eye, but great fun. 15x 30” acrylic on canvas. Images show progress shots. Sorry it’s so badly cropped. #landscape #landscapepainting #painting #acrylics #Kamloops #kamloopsartist #williammcausland #farm #britishcolumbia #thompsonriver #humanartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl5FhKcLTa9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kamloops - Goose Lake Loop (BC)

18 June 2023

We spent the last night of our trip in a hotel on the main highway and I spent the evening looking online at possible rides for the next morning. This turned out to be a great choice given where we were staying. I considered expanding the route to include downtown and the river, but that would have added an awful lot of climbing to a ride that already had plenty.

The first leg was a short, steep climb through suburbia. The second leg was a long, gradual climb on Long Lake (paved) and Goose Lake (gravel) Roads. And the final leg was a fast downhill (mostly downhill) on Lac Le Juene Road towards Kamloops. It was Sunday morning and there was very little traffic anywhere.

Goose Lake Road crosses the TransMountain pipeline corridor, and while there were crews working in places, the huge construction project didn’t interfere with the ride. The route crosses the pipeline again where the corridor crosses the TransCanada Highway near the end of my loop. The ride provided some time to ponder the logistical and financial challenges of huge infrastructure projects, the tradeoffs inherent in improving petroleum distribution in a world moving away from carbon, the visual and environmental realities of corridor-style construction in rural and natural landscapes, and the regional politics of a controversial initiative.
