Notes on this record

  • Venture Kamloops (the city economic-development agency) publishes no ranked major-employers list: its Community Facts (Business) PDF, September 2026, gives population, rents, tax rates and TRU enrolment (29,619 students in 2023/24) but no employer table, and its data portal carries Census industry shares only.
  • Blocked, not added: BC Lottery Corporation, which has a head office in Kamloops (bclc.com and corporate.bclc.com both return 403 for robots.txt; playnow.com contact page is JavaScript-rendered with no office text); Thompson-Nicola Regional District (tnrd.ca robots.txt 403); Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc (tkemlups.ca returns 403); Arrow Transportation Systems (arrow.ca robots.txt 403); Sprott Shaw College (robots.txt 403); Gateway Casinos / Cascades Casino Kamloops (robots.txt 403); ASK Wellness Society (robots.txt 403); Kamloops Airport (robots.txt disallows our agents); Trans Mountain (robots.txt names our agents, disallowed); New Gold, New Afton mine west of the city (newgold.com unreachable on every attempt); Kamloops This Week (redirects to castanetkamloops.net, which sits behind a Cloudflare challenge).
  • Not added for want of a Kamloops-specific source on the company's own site: CN (careers page loads at cn.ca/en/careers but no Kamloops page was found), Domtar (its Kamloops pulp mill does not appear in the location sitemap on domtar.com). Teck Highland Valley Copper is at Logan Lake, outside Kamloops, and is left out.
  • No funded software/tech company headquartered in Kamloops could be verified: the Central Interior Business Accelerator (formerly Kamloops Innovation, now part of TRU) reports "$8.8M new investment" across its clients in total, but names no funded companies with amounts, and the client site found (traqspera.com) was unreachable.
  • BC Lottery Corporation and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District were not added even as block-rested rows: no page we could open names them in Kamloops.
