Smoking Banned in All Kamloops City Parks

Smoking is prohibited in all City of Kamloops natural park areas and trails effective immediately.

These parks include Kenna Cartwright Park, Peterson Creek Park, Kamloops Bike Ranch, Mission Flats Park, Rose Hill Park, Rivers Trail, Valleyview Nature Park, Dallas Barnhartvale Nature Park, and West Highlands Park.

The smoking ban has been put in effect due to the extreme fire hazard conditions. Despite anticipated improvement in the short term weather forecast, the fire hazard rating is not expected to improve. As a result, the smoking prohibition will remain in effect until further notice.

Violators may be fined a minimum of $500 and, if convicted, may be held responsible for all potential costs for controlling and extinguishing any occurring fire.

Kamloops Fire and Rescue will be monitoring the fire hazard rating on an ongoing basis in cooperation with City of Kamloops Parks staff and the B.C. Wildfire Service.
