ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Though plans for a new $150M RCMP station were already in the works, City Hall conveniently left that out when rushing through the $275M Performing Arts Centre and Arena Multiplex.
Both were approved using an AAP-a backwards voting process where not voting counts as yes.

Now, they’re suddenly pushing for $200M instead of $150M, and once again trying to bypass a real vote-with another AAP,

Had you known that the city was facing another $200M expenditure-in addition to the PAC and Multiplex loan bylaws -would you have supported them?

If this project is so essential, why not let the public decide in the 2026 election, just 17 months away?

This isn’t transparency, it’s manipulation.

A $200K referendum is a mere 0.0727% of the cost of the $275M debt that council was fine saddling taxpayers with.

Kamloops residents deserve open, honest consultation, not reverse-consent loopholes and shady spending tactics.

Your rent and taxes are already stretched. We can’t afford another massive loan with no public mandate.

Statistics Canada confirms Kamloops has the highest metropolitan unemployment in BC. Residents are stretched thin now, and will be completely tapped out in a few years.
If you think there’s a homeless problem now-expect a tidal wave.

Vote NO on the RCMP AAP.
If this council was serious about public safety, they’d repeal the PAC and Multiplex funding bylaws — not ask you to bankroll everything, including vanity projects.
They don’t get to spend hundreds of millions, and then come back asking for more. Enough is enough.

Voting No means you’re saying No to the process-not the project. It means that if the AAP fails, council will be then forced to hold a democratic referendum afterwards, or at election time.

It’s time to take action, Kamloops.
