The Kamloops Centre for the Arts is still on track for groundbreaking this year. Jen Fretz, the city’s director of civic operations, said a team of contractors has been assembled to construct the building, now working together to validate the project design. “They’re verifying all the components that will be included and developing detailed costing and timelines,” Fretz said in an email to Castanet Kamloops. She said more information on this design work will be shared later this summer.
