Kamloops city councillors Mike O'Reilly and Katie Neustaeter are on the Build Kamloops program select committee, which has identified five facilities to explore building as part of the program — the Kamloops Centre for the Arts, an aquatics centre, a multi-sheet ice complex, an indoor soccer dome and a curling facility.

They hop in with KLW [at 15:59] to talk cost, community appetite for spending, potential referendum, locations and Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson's comments relating to the program made last week on KLW, among other topics.

A seniors centre or community space would be built in conjunction with one of the above facilities, according to https://letstalk.kamloops.ca/buildkamloops.

We're also joined on the show by Calgary Flames' rookie sensation Connor Zary and American Hockey League points leader Logan Stankoven in the Tattle of Hastings [42:56].

We barely sneak past border guards in our weekly sponsorship improv [11:39] session, with the help of Gord's Appliance and Mattress Centre, Volkswagen of Kamloops and McDonald's. We thank the Kamloops Blazers for their support.

Here lies Kamloops Last Week — May 12, 2021, to Feb. 7, 2024.

Co-hosts Christopher Foulds and Marty Hastings offer reasons for the show's demise.

We dig into the archives — along with Bill and Showmaster Magic Mike Miltimore — to find highlights and reflect on the life of KLW.

Thanks to all of the #LastWeekClique members who helped us eclipse the one-million-view mark across all platforms, the amazing guests who made our show special and the sponsors who kept us alive: Holmes is Where the Heart Is, Nu Leaf Produce Market, Twin River Painting, Cold Control Mechanical, McDonald’s, Gord’s Appliance and Mattress Centre, Betstamp, Club Car, Kamloops Y Dream Home, Maca Ranch and the Kamloops Blazers.

Special thanks to Brandy Sekhon of McDonald's, Steve Rodgers of Gord's, Terry Lowe of Volkswagen and Herman Hothi of Nu Leaf.

We'll see you Last Week.

Kamloops Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson joins Kamloops Last Week for an unscheduled visit, Zooming in from Mexico [at the 47:15 mark] to address concerns about his whereabouts, most notably from Kamloops city coun. Stephen Karpuk.

Hamer-Jackson also denies a report that notes he said these words to City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin: “I’ll bury you.”

KLW 125 includes a visit [27:55] from Dan Ondang and Andrew Robertson of Chimera Theatre, two of the driving forces behind William Shakespeare Mystery Box, the play that will open on Feb. 1 at the Pavilion Theatre.

The jam-packed show also features our monthly KLW on the Blazers segment [39:15].

Blazers’ defenceman Ryan Michael and club game-day-operations and ticketing co-ordinator Missy Cederholm hop in to talk about KMHA/Literacy in Kamloops Book Drive Night this Saturday at Sandman Centre.

Co-hosts Chris Foulds and Marty Hastings delve into another dubious record for overdose deaths in B.C., decriminalization, Build Kamloops and the proposed performing arts centre, Guy Lafleur and Kamloops coun. Nancy Bepple’s decision to withdraw a recent notice of motion.

We can’t do our show without our loyal sponsors: McDonald’s, Gord’s Appliance and Mattress Centre, Volkswagen of Kamloops, Maca Ranch and the Kamloops Blazers.

Check out our weekly sponsorship improv session [25:07] and take a trip [16:31] to Maca Ranch to find its good, clean food.

We can’t thank Maca Ranch — find them online at macaranch.ca — enough for being on board with us for 10 episodes and we hope to visit the ranch soon.
