In early November 2015 my daughter continued to show me around the city of Kamloops. It seemed at every turn there was something wonderful to see, then we came upon the
St. Andrews On The Square site.
St. Andrews On The Square was built in 1887 and is the oldest public building in the city of Kamloops. The city bought it, then restored everything back in 1998.

The Kamloops Heritage Society now operates the facility, where weddings and other events are held.
Also on site are the gorgeous St. Andrews gardens where
local musicians and performers can be found.
So when planning your next holiday, don’t forget to put Kamloops on your agenda so you can tour all the wonderful historic sites seen around town.
