❓ Why Do Potholes Form?
Potholes start when water seeps into tiny cracks in the asphalt. When temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands, breaking apart the pavement. As the cycle repeats—freeze, thaw, repeat—the road weakens, and a pothole forms.

🛠️ Reporting potholes helps us fix them faster and keep roads safe.

👉 See one? Let us know!

In Kamloops, City Council is made up of a Mayor and eight Councillors who collectively set the community’s strategic direction by creating policies, passing bylaws, approving the City’s budget, and determining service levels.

👉 Casting an informed vote is an important way for voters to love their city in an election year. A ballot that accurately reflects a voter’s values means they’re advocating for themselves, their families, and their community.
