Our primary goal is to support newcomers to settle into the community and assist with integration to Canadian society through a welcoming and inclusive philosophy. Our History
In March 1980, the Kamloops Chinese Cultural Associations responded to the need for settlement assistance for the large numbers of South East Asian refugees who were arriving in Kamloops. The Vietnamese and Immigrants’ Community Center was opened, with a staff of two. Many will remember this time as the arrival of the Boat People incident. In 1982, the Kamloops Chinese Cultural Associations had fulfilled their mandate for two years” assistance. However, the need for services to immigrants from various backgrounds was evident. Thus, on January 20, 1982, KAMLOOPS CARIBOO REGIONAL IMMIGRANT SOCIETY was incorporated as a non-profit society with the purpose of sponsoring an immigrant service agency. This agency was re-named “The Immigrants’ Community Centre”. In 1985, the agency was more appropriately named Kamloops Immigrant Services. Programs and services are delivered through Kamloops Immigrant Services.

Kamloops Immigrant Services had a fantastic day connecting with the community at the kamloopsfarmersmarket and offering our fresh lettuce by donation.

A special thank you to Greg, the Market Manager, for providing us with a space, to our clients who helped grow the lettuce, to Yenny for donating lettuce from her personal garden, and to our amazing volunteers who helped make the day a success.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit and support us. We hope to see many of you again at Yoga in the Park this Wednesday!
