Kamloops is a growing city with many citizens moving here to build a home. However, one area that always fails to grow is a place for the performing arts. In an article written by Shannon Ainslie for Info News, she brings to light a proposed project for downtown Kamloops. This project has been an ongoing debate on whether or not the 70 million proposed budget is worth it. On one hand, people think that Kamloops is in dire need of an arts location; a good portion of the remaining arts buildings are run down and too costly to try and repair. While others debate that the cost will only put Kamloops further into debt and take away even more parking, when that money could go to things like road repairs and necessities for the wellness of everyone. Personally, I believe adding a performing arts centre might just bring a little more life to downtown Kamloops, something it has been missing for a very long time. A place for concerts, performances and more would bring joy for years to come. Yet, only time will tell if this project will ever get to see fruition.
