Message from the Mayor

With the snow gone, Sun Peaks is once again green and lush.  The bears, deer and even a moose (rare in Sun Peaks) and all the small critters were out early enjoying the tender new grass.  Spring/summer has also brought a flurry of development activity.  Even the new Chairlift line has surveyor’s tape, exciting days ahead.

It is almost six months since the Sun Peaks Health Centre opened and there is no question that it is performing beyond our expectations. Drs. Shane Barclay and Harpreet Kelly have been very well received by everyone. The summer months have brought a wave of Kamloops patients who are not able to secure a family doctor in the city.  With appointments easily scheduled at 778-644-0635  Sun Peak’s Family Practice is more convenient for most Kamloops patients than lining up for ‘walk-in’ clinics.  The community’s very successful Equipment Fundraiser Campaign has now exceeded $530,000. Well done Sun Peaks!!

Summer months welcome a host of activities including music festivals, biking, hiking, golf, tennis, boating and swimming. There is a new solar panel heating system at the pool so make sure to check that out. We are looking forward to an exciting lineup of entertainment here at Sun Peaks Resort.  Check out the Tourism Sun Peaks website at sunpeakstourism.com for a list of the free concerts and activities.

Over the summer we will carry out planning exercises and design work for the new Sun Peaks Centre and in late fall will award the construction contracts.  Keep posted on our website and better still, register your email address with us so that we can keep you in the Sun Peaks municipal communication loop.
