Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Ward Stamer has asked multiple provincial ministries to assess long-term campers along Jamieson Creek Forest Service Road, citing health, safety and environmental concerns. Residents and recreators have complained about pollution, safety risks and road blockages. Stamer noted the encampment has expanded since 2022, with multiple RVs and shelters on Crown land. The Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs said it is working with local partners to coordinate outreach and support.
