I really don't understand the links to all the subdivisions of Kamloops on this page since none of them have actual articles. How would people feel if they were removed?

Do not remove. Add content. -- Earl Andrew - talk 04:53, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

I edited the sports section, cleaned it up and removed some of the blazers content. I think that should be on the blazers page. The Tournament Capital motto should also be explained - as far as I understand ,it is a title the city gave itself and is more of a marketing campaign than an official status.

No no no! It's absolutely been officially recognized as such. Yes, the city did in fact nominate itself, but provincial and then federal government backed it up. If necessary I'm sure I could provide sources with a little work. Adam Marx Squared 20:57, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I remember we had to prove we hosted more tournaments than the previous holder; somewhere in Ontario Lorddude 07:54, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

A resident of Kamloops is referred to as a Kamloopsian.

Wha-huh? I was born in Kamloops and lived there 12+ years, and now live 2 hours away in Penticton, and I have never in my life heard/seen "Kamloopsian" spoken or written. Is there official citation for this? Back in the day we called ourselves "Spoolmakers", as in Kamloops backwards... -- Darren

well I have lived in Kamloops for 26 years and I AM a Kamloopsian and we DO say that ... if you live in Penticton now you OBVIOUSLY aren't a true Kamloopsian. Shawna Liza

I am a resident of Kamloops - have been so for my whole life actually - and yes, people do refer to residents of the city as Kamloopsian. It isn't a word that is used on a daily basis though so I can understand how someone might not be familiar with it, even having lived here.-- User:hairytoad2005 October 9, 2006

For what it's worth, there are a few more Google hits for Kamloopian than Kamloopsian. Google doesn't define significance or popularity, but it's something... --Ds13 06:32, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kamloops Flickr Group link added to External Links

Hey all... I added a link to the Kamloops Flickr Group under External Links so that readers could see some visual representations of the city and surrounding areas.

[edit] Coat of arms

I have been born and raised in Kamloops, and I can say with absolute certainty that the coat of arms on this page is NOT the City of Kamloops' coat of arms. The Kamloops coat of arms is a shield depicting three rivers, with the crest of the Hudson's Bay Company above. Atop it are a helmet and a spoked wheel. I have never seen the coat of arms as it appears on this page. Escheffel 05:18, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Is this one (Image:Kamloops-lCOA.png) the correct one? The one with the bull was probably from some corps of army in kamloops. Qyd^(talk)20:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Yup, that's the one. Correct, the previous one was of a former military base. Thanks! Escheffel 06:03, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] schools: Norkam

Hi i was just wondering as a former student of norkam secondary if there would be any point to me adding a section to the article about it under the schools heading?

→the kamloops blazers attended norkam until last year when they switched to Brock- perhaps it could be relevant that several NHL starts went to norkam.
