The Mayor of Kamloops presented federal Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi with a wish list during a recent meeting in the River City.
Ken Christian says the priorities include federal funding for storm and sewer improvements as well as cash for a cultural First Nations Civic Centre at the location of the old Stuart Wood School in partnership with the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc Band.
“The federal government has an interest in helping municipalities out to deal with certainly climate change as well as communities that want to celebrate cultural diversity with First Nations.”
Christian says, no funding request was made since the cost of a new cultural centre has not been determined.
