The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is considering amending a controversial bylaw about RV use in the Kamloops area.

Board chair Ken Gillis says directors will review Bylaw 24-hundred at a committee of the whole meeting on December 12th which could lead to future changes.

“If you read the bylaw technically, I don’t think you could have your brother-in-law come up here from Abbotsford and came up here with his fifth-wheel trailer for three weeks in the summertime, and we never intended to limit that sort of activity. So I think we’ll probably make some changes around that sort of activity,” Gillis says.

The review comes after public concern in the Kamloops area when the regional district began enforcing the bylaw this summer.

“I think really, there are probably very few people who are in favor of dramatic changes to that bylaw. There are probably many who would like to see certain aspects of it softened up a bit, and we’re certainly open to that, but I don’t think there’s very many people who want to see a free-for-all for that matter in the regional district.”

The bylaw is intended to give the TNRD a channel to act on complaints made against RVs being used as permanent homes when there are safety issues that are present.
