Thompson Rivers University – Welcome To The Southern BC Interior

Life in the sunny interior of British Columbia provides immediate access to some of the most incredible outdoor experiences Canada has to offer ranging from winter sports at Sun Peaks Resort, to some of Canada’s best mountain biking and hiking trails, walking distance from TRU. Located between the Coastal and Rocky Mountains, Kamloops is within 30 minutes from hundreds of beautiful freshwater lakes, and only 3 hours from Vancouver.

A city with almost 100,000 residents, it is served by an airport, a hospital, a university, a WHL hockey team, an active theatre and arts community, and yet still maintains a small-town feel where commutes are rarely longer than 15 minutes.
