Overview
The rural community of Barriere; located north of Kamloops in the North Thompson Valley; is a beautiful place to live and raise a family. As with many rural communities, there is a lack of recreation facilities in our community.
Following the wildfires of 2003; which took the area’s largest employer; our community has worked hard to rebuild and recover from the outflow of community members, moving away to find employment. The lack of employment, as well as the lack of large business leaves our community with many lower income families and seniors and a small tax base, making building and maintaining any kind of a recreation facility unreachable. For years the community has been looking for options that are affordable to build, maintain and use, that can be used by all members’ of the community.
We believe we have found a way. NTVIC, the District and other stakeholders are working to make our community even better with the construction of a Splash Park.
