Kamloops Campus
Our main campus is located in the heart of the vibrant and growing city of Kamloops. Known for being a welcoming community, Kamloops — or Tk'emlúps, meaning "where two rivers meet" — is where the North and South Thompson rivers converge. Our breathtaking campus overlooks the river valleys and is an ideal place for scenic walks and connecting with colleagues. For outdoor enthusiasts, we have you covered year-round!

Williams Lake Campus
Our second and smaller campus in Williams Lake is approximately three hours northwest of Kamloops. In the heart of the Cariboo, Williams Lake is named in honour of Secwepemc chief William. Here you can enjoy a more affordable lifestyle and the smaller-scale living that brings you closer to your community.
