Abstract

kamloops, british columbia is an interesting city when it comes to social economic development. This is true because the community is one that draws on many different industrial sectors to drive its economy: agriculture, mining, forestry, manufacturing, transportation, tourism and high technology. kamloops if poised to do well and grow its economy in the future as these different sectors provides opportunities for growth and development. When Canada's development is studied, it becomes clear that medium-sized towns like kamloops play a significant role in the greater economy of the country. kamloops is interesting to study because it has experienced significant social and economic changes, particularly in the last two decades. Just like many other medium-sized communities in the interior of british columbia, kamloops has been a community whose economy is based on resources, specifically in agriculture, mining and forestry. During the recession in the 1980s, there was a large-scale drop in the price of global commodities, and this had serious implications for the community of kamloops as many people in this city were employed in sectors that rely on commodity export industries. Since then, there has been some recovery in the resource sectors, but other sectors have increased alongside them, contributing to a healthy economy in this city. These relate specifically to the tertiary and quaternary industries. In addition, kamloops has become an important regional service centre.
