Thompson Rivers University will be welcoming a new faculty member who has been granted a Canadian Research Chair in Fire Ecology.
Dr. Jill Harvey will be investigating how wildfires and droughts impact the BC Interior’s forests.
Harvey is setting up a program to study past wildfires with two themes of research. She says the first is historical wildfires, and understanding how often and what areas are affected, as well as climate conditions associated with past wildfires. The second theme of the research will look at recent wildfires, and how those forests are recovering, and the role of drought in wildfires.

Committee of the whole meetings are held to allow council to engage in in-depth discussion of issues. Recommendations from the committee of the whole meetings are voted on at an upcoming regular council meeting. Coun. Kathy Sinclair said housing, versus parking, is the highest and best use of land, noting families are living in RVs in Kamloops. She said it is worth exploring parking minimums in core areas. However, she suggested further public engagement on the matter was needed and made a notice of motion requesting staff bring back a report on the matter. Coun. Mike O’Reilly said he would not support Sinclair’s motion and that, while he likes the sentiment, parking elicits among the most complaints from residents. He said council recently heard from someone concerned about too many people parking in front of their home, causing them to be unable to bring in their groceries.
