Thompson-Nicola

Thompson-Nicola has served as an inland transportation corridor within British Columbia since the nineteenth century. Centred on Kamloops, the region follows the Thompson River system, where the North and South Thompson rivers meet before the waterway turns west toward the Fraser. Dry grasslands and rolling plateaus around the Nicola Valley contrast with forested uplands and lakes farther north. The area includes the traditional territories of Secwépemc and Nlaka'pamux peoples; Kamloops developed around an early fur-trade post and remains an important regional hub. Highways and rail lines still follow these river valleys, connecting the Interior with the coast and the Rockies. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Thompson-Nicola.
