DESTINATION KAMLOOPS

WELCOME

Kamloops is located in the heart of the Interior of B.C., the hub city where all four major high-ways converge. The

city is an authentic, friendly com-munity with the personal feel of a small town and the openness of a vast, rugged landscape to expe-rience energizing recreational opportunities like hiking, biking, stand-up paddling and horseback riding.

Here are some reasons to enjoy Kamloops this summer:

• Warmest summers: Average temperature of 27.2 C from June to August.

• Most parks: The area is home to 84 parks, which puts it at the top of the list for all of B.C.

• Kamloops’ mild, dry, four-season climate means visitors can enjoy summer and winter activi-ties.

• The Tournament Capital gets 2,000 hours of sunshine per year

and only 270 millimetres of rain. • Usually, the city ranks No. 2

for warmest springs, driest city and most sunny days in warm months, 11th for warmest year-round, 13th for mildest winter and 14th for most sunny days.

Kamloops is becoming a choice destination for organiza-tions holding major conferences.

The city offers 16 convention facilities, ranging in size from 816 square feet to more than 48,000 square feet. There are also

five major destination resorts in the Kamloops area and 10 other hotels with meeting facilities.

True to its moniker of Canada’s Tournament Capital, visitors and residents can find a tournament every weekend in Kamloops.

Some of the facilities the city has built include a 35,000-square-foot fieldhouse complete with indoor running track, an Olympic-sized hockey rink, championship soccer stadium with 500 seats, a soccer facility

for tournaments, 12 baseball dia-monds and a 1,500-seat baseball park.

INTO THE WILDRARE KERMODE BEAR MAKES PUBLIC DEBUT AT B.C. WILDLIFE PARK

When John Stark looks out

on the fenced-in com-pound, he doesn’t see 2.7 acres of trees, pools, boulders

and shrubs.He sees a palace.“I call it the Bear-

Mahal,” the B.C. Wildlife Park business and development manager said.

“There’s the Taj Mahal. Well, this is the

Bear-Mahal because it’s an amazing thing.”

Visitors to the park will get a look at the enclosure’s rare resi-dent who made it all happen.

Clover the Kermode made his debut over

the Victoria Day long weekend.

The blond black bear, rare in the wild and the only one of its kind in captivity, came to the park three years ago, but has been mostly out of view

as a special $800,000 enclosure was built to house him.

Stark said the wildlife park plans to eventually put its other three black bears into the new habitat as well, but the pro-

cess will be slow and lengthy.

For now, Clover is living without room-mates.

On a visit to the park earlier this month, KTW was able to catch a glimpse of the Kermode, also known as a Spirit Bear, as he lounged in the concrete denning area at the edge of the pub-lic viewing pen.

A small cub when he first arrived, Clover is now a whopping 330 pounds — so big, Stark said, that even his keepers were surprised when they weighed him during his trans-fer to his new home last week.

Stark said the bear is being introduced to the new area slowly, but should be roaming his new home freely soon enough.

“What they want to make sure is, when he goes out into this large, 2.7-acre area, which I’ve never seen anything like in the world, he might just stay out here for a while and not want to come back in,” Stark said.

“So, he’s really got to know where he’s going to be fed all the time.”

The new habitat is still a work in progress.

While Clover’s por-tion is ready to go, along with a viewing platform for the pub-lic, only phase one of the project is com-plete.

Phase two will include a second wheelchair-accessible viewing platform on the other side of Clover’s enclosure, where the second of two pools con-nected by a stream is installed, along with several shady spots for the bear to escape the summer sun.

The water features will be spots to watch as Clover settles in.

“He loves his water,” Stark said.

Also in the works is an interpretive cen-

tre explaining Spirit Bears.

The bruins are cul-turally significant for First Nations people on the central and north coast of the province, the only place Kermodes are found.

They are also B.C.’s provincial mammal and illegal to kill.

It’s that fact that saved Clover.

Orphaned as a cub, Clover became habitu-ated to humans and previous attempts to relocate him away from people failed.

While a normal black bear would have been put down as a pest, he was sent to Kamloops.

The move wasn’t without controversy.

Animal-rights group Lifeforce set up a petition demand-ing the bear be freed, which attracted national media atten-tion — but only about 900 signatures.

Stark said it’s been some time now since the park has heard from Lifeforce.

“I give it to Glenn [Grant, general man-ager of the park],” Stark said.

“He’s done such a good job of getting the message out there of why the bear’s here.

“It was without a doubt the best thing for the bear.

“The bear would probably not have sur-vived.

“Probably some-body would have ended up shooting it — which is totally against the law in British Columbia, but they’d say, ‘Oh, he was attacking me. He was in my yard ripping my garbage apart’.”

Today, Clover is attracting internation-al attention for differ-ent reasons.

More than 25 bus-loads of Californian tourists will stop over-night in Kamloops this summer, hoping for a glimpse of the unusual bear.

DESTINATION KAMLOOPSClover, a rare Kermode bear, had his coming-out party at the B.C. Wildlife Park over the Victoria Day long weekend. The Spirit Bear moved into his new home, a 2.7-acre habitat at the south end of the park. Clover will act as an ambassador for his species. He arrived at the park in 2012 after being unsuccessful with a rehabilitation and release program. He is believed to be the only one of his kind in professional human care anywhere in the world.

CONSERVATION THROUGH EDUCATION

The B.C. Wildlife Park in Kamloops connects people to the province’s wildlife, encour-aging a sustainable society within a healthy natural envi-ronment.

The park has canines, big cats, reptiles and amphibians, bears, birds of prey, small mammals, arachnids and more to see.

During the summer, see the bird of prey � ight demonstra-tion at the Highland Valley Copper Amphitheatre or ride over a kilometre of track on the miniature train, the Wild-life Express.

Learn more about the animals at the B.C. Wildlife

Park during guided tours with a park interpreter. Private animal encounters introduce visitors to either a turtle, bird of prey, snake or bearded dragon.

June 27 is the summer kick-o� special animal encounter day. Aug. 3 is B.C. Bear Day and the Teddy Bear Picnic. Aug. 29 is the great summer � -nale. Throughout the summer, the park runs kid’s science day camps for children ages six to 10.

The park is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily from May 1 to Sept. 1. Visit bczoo.org for more information about the B.C. Wildlife Park.



WINE TRAILSKAMLOOPS IS HOME TO B.C.’S NEWEST EMERGING WINE REGION

While the Kamloops wine indus-try has been growing for the last sev-

eral years, it’s only recently that a brand has begun to develop for the region as a whole.

The Kamloops Wineries Association was created in fall of 2014, a partnership between the four local wineries — Harper’s Trail Winery, Sagewood Winery, Privato Vineyard and Winery and Monte Creek Ranch — and spearheaded by industry veteran director Trish Morelli.

The not-for-profit association is working to collectively market and promote the emerging wine region in the Thompson Valley and launch the Kamloops wine trail brand.

The B.C. wine industry gener-ates $2 billion for the province and $476 million in tourism and tourism-related businesses, with $180 million generated in revenue from B.C. wine tourism.

“Those kind of economic impact numbers are what is stag-gering really, so to bring some of that home to Kamloops is a real benefit,” said Morelli, who has marketed B.C. wines for 25 years.

“It’s just time for us to get together as a group and collectively market the Kamloops wine region, give the region a bigger voice and put Kamloops on the B.C. wine map.”

Many people, even within the

industry, are unaware Kamloops is home to wineries, Morelli said.

Sagewood winery forged the path for grape-growing locally when it planted vineyards in 2005 and farms the oldest vineyards in the region.

Harper’s Trail followed suit in 2008, but was the first to make the investment to build an operating winery and tasting room.

Privato was the second to estab-lish itself as an operating winery and harvested its first crush in 2010.

Monte Creek, the newest Kamloops winery, released its first vintage this year and will officially open its tasting room this summer.

The biggest misconception, owners agree, is that Kamloops isn’t suitable for winemaking because of the climate.

“I can remember back when winters were a lot cooler and a lot of the varieties we grow now wouldn’t have survived the win-ters we used to have. With climate change, things are changing here,” said Doug Wood, owner and wine-maker at Sagewood Winery and longtime Kamloops resident.

Kamloops is ranked third in Canada for most growing-degree days, 166, and 2,000 hours of sunshine. With average 30-degree summer temperatures, warm days and cooler nights promote balance in the wines. The region is experi-encing increasingly milder winters, although early frosts, like the one experienced in fall of 2014, can still

damage vines. Erik Fisher, general manager at

Monte Creek, said ripening is not a big concern because of the favour-able heat units, but they plant vines suitable for winter hardiness. Monte Creek is the only winery in town growing five unique variet-ies developed at the University of Minnesota and engineered to with-stand winter temperatures down to -35C.

“We like to think that once we prove their effectiveness that oth-ers will follow, especially in these kind of cool climate regions,” Fisher said, noting that Kelowna and anywhere north can be con-sidered cool-climate viticulture.

Overall, there are parallels between the Okanagan and the Thompson Valley. Although Kamloops lacks the large moder-ating lake, the river helps create airflow and provides a bit of mod-eration, Fisher said.

Active airflows through the Thomspon Valley help regulate temperatures in the vineyards and reduce moisture on vines.

“If we have an early frost, they have the same cold snap in the Okanagan as well,” said Debbie Woodward, co-owner of Privato.

“We may get one or two degrees colder, but it’s not a whole lot dif-ferent.

“People think it is, but it really isn’t.”

Kamloops shares similar heat units to Burgundy, France, Morelli and Woodward both noted. The

average heat accumulation, which is used to compare regions and vine-growing conditions, is referred to as growing degree days. The degree day average in the Kamloops region is 1,280, while the Dijon, Burgundy area of France is 1,279.

Built on a bed of limestone, volcanic rock and clay, soils range from loam — a clay, silt and sand combination — to dominantly gravel.

According to the association, such soils offer good drainage, which controls moisture levels.

The cool climate wines are high in brightness, acidity and balance, most like wines from Alsace and Bergundy. Dominant grape plant-ings include pinot noir, cab franc, marechal foch and gamey noir for the reds. Among the dominant white grapes are chardonnay, ries-ling, pinot gris, gewürztraminer, kerner and marquette.

Morelli said much of the mar-keting will be dedicated to promot-ing the Kamloops “terroir,” a sense of place for a wine, referring to the overall geography, climate and conditions of the wine-growing region.

They will launch the public brand “The Kamloops wine trail” as an authentic and relaxed expe-rience, free from the hustle and bustle, pomp and pretense of other regions.

“I think what is going to be neat is that intimate hands on experi-ence,” Morelli said.

“Sitting with the owner and the winemaker is going to be more of the norm than the exception.”

“There is a sense of more wild-ness to it all. Sitting at the winery, overlooking the river and seeing the bighorn sheep and the cattle walking around the gates of the vineyard, it has a real sense of natural beauty — the wine trail less travelled.”

The Kamloops Wineries Association will be rolling out billboard advertising, a wine trail map and brochure this summer, as well as beginning to lobby the gov-ernment to get wine trail signage erected. The official launch will kick off June 22, with open houses at all the wineries on Saturday, June 27. The website, kamloop-swinetrail.ca will also go live that week.

There are two touring compa-nies in town: Tasteful Excursions and Divine Tours.

The association is working closely with several Kamloops’ hotels to offer touring packages.

They are looking to develop the trail as a destination activity, bring-ing tourists into the city, where they can also experience the rest of what Kamloops has to offer.
