The area’s largest community, Kamloops, has a thriving arts and culture community, and hosts numerous sport championships. Visitors can ski powder at family-friendly Sun Peaks Resort, golf, ride cowboy-style in Ashcroft, and join the annual Kamloopa Powwow, one of the largest celebrations of Indigenous culture and heritage in Western Canada.
