Executive Summary
The Kamloops/Thompson region is
thriving. This, among other elements, is a
key finding of the Community Mapping
Study.
In cooperation with Statistics Canada and
Human Resources and Social Development
Canada, the Community Mapping Study
has captured a highly detailed glimpse of
Kamloops/Thompson. This glimpse will
undoubtedly serve as a foundation from
which the best services and resources can
thrive.
Education and income levels paint an
optimistic picture and population levels
are on the rise. This type of positive
growth, while encouraging, is sometimes
accompanied by the need for social
adjustment.
Availability and scope of resources
help transition and support healthy
communities. Barriers such as language,
culture, transportation and isolation
(whether geographical or social) may
play an increasing role in the needs of a
developing region.
While many programs and services are
underway in the region, there is still an
opportunity to increase locations where
they are offered. Using the information in
the Community Mapping Study to create
more effective and location-appropriate
families went from 4,825 in 2001 to 4,805
in 2006—a 0.5% decline. Despite these
declining numbers, more available quality
childcare spaces are needed.
outreach will cast a wider net of support.
Mobile programs, outreach clinics and ondemand service are examples of options
that can only strengthen existing regional
resources.
Approximately 440 (9.5%) of private
households with children less than
six-years-old in 2001 were identified as
unemployed. Obstacles in accessing
quality care are commonly greater for this
particular demographic.
Programs that are rich in early intervention,
cross-cultural activities and full spectrum
(physical, social, emotional and cognitive)
developmental opportunities warrant
further consideration in any local
community planning activities.
The 2001 average gross individual
income in the region was $27,988. This is
approximately 12% below the Canadian
($31,757) and BC averages ($31,544). In
2006 the average gross individual income
in the region was $32,945. This is an
increase of 17.7% from the 2001 average
income of $27,988.
In 2008 there were 2,204 regulated
childcare spaces available for, potentially,
5,000 children aged 0-5 in the Kamloops/
Thompson region. Further study
calculations based on national statistics
considered that not all families need
childcare. Roughly 70% of families
do require it. This means that not all
5,000 children in this age bracket are
impacted, but there is still an approximate
1,000-space shortfall.
While earnings have increased for the
time period from 2001 to 2006, the global
economy has experienced a recent slump.
The impact of the recession may require
further investigation in 2009.
This gap in available regulated spaces
means that some families need to rely
on unregulated care with no quality
assurance. As a result, a parent’s ability to
return to work may be impacted due to
lack of qualified childcare.
The average rent in the Kamloops/
Thompson for 2006 was $784/month,
a 16% increase from the 2001 average
rent of $674/month. Although this is in
keeping with increasing income levels, it
is uncertain whether rental costs will also
fluctuate downwards—along with income
levels—in a depressed economy.
The number of families with children
decreased by 2% from 2001 to 2006,
while the total number of lone parent

Making reactive decisions are necessary
where change is fast paced. Fortunately,
the Community Mapping Study helps to
predict future needs and the opportunity
to be pro-active as well.
The key findings of significance in the
Executive Summary will help service
providers and stakeholders to more
fully understand the early years of local
young people and gain a much broader
appreciation of the entire region.
Understanding the Early Years: Project Background
In May 2007, Make Children First Kamloops
received Federal Government funding
under the initiative Understanding the
Early Years (UEY). This three-year project
is a national initiative funded by Human
Resources and Social Development
Canada. The UEY outcome reports allow
stakeholders to better understand the
needs of young children, their families
and to determine the best programs and
services required to meet those needs.
UEY provides communities with quality
information on how children are
developing in the early years before they
begin school. Family and community
factors that influence children’s
development are identified along with
the availability of local resources that
support young children and their families.
As a result of the study, stakeholders are
better equipped to work collaboratively on
appropriate resources and services.
Since the start of the Federal UEY project
in 1999, 36 communities across Canada
have participated under three phases. UEY
Phase 3 includes projects include:
Nova Scotia
ll UEY Cape Breton-Victoria
ll UEY Pictou, Antigonish, and
Guysborough
UEY consists of four components:
1. Program inventory detailing local
services for families with young
children
2. Assessment of kindergarten students’
readiness to learn, as measured by the
Early Development Instrument (EDI)
3. Community mapping study to identify
community risk factors, strengths, and
assets
4. Parent interviews and direct
assessments of children (PIDAC)

This Community Mapping Study defined
12 neighbourhoods in the geographical
area of Kamloops/Thompson School
District #73. Using 2006 national census
data, both the distribution of children
birth to six years and the socio-economic
characteristics of the community were
mapped.
The Community Mapping Study examines
in detail the physical environment, social
environment and assets of communities in
the Kamloops/Thompson region.
By identifying and mapping data,
communities have a better understanding
of their strengths, assets and opportunities
for improvement. This knowledge will
provide a foundation from which the
Kamloops/Thompson neighbourhoods
can work to support and improve the early
development of their youngest residents.

Methodology
Report interpretation
Engaging community members early in
the study was a project priority. Viewed
as a participatory process, engagement
involved identifying issues, gathering
information, analysing results and helping
to identify possible solutions.
Report outcomes are typically subject to
a degree of interpretation. The UEY team
committed to represent all information in
a clear and concise manner to the best of
their understanding. Data elaboration is
included when needed or prudent.
The Kamloops/Thompson communitymapping project includes the examination
of socio-economic characteristics of the
region, each neighbourhood and the
distribution of programs, resources and
services for young children and their
families within five communities:
ll Kamloops
ll Barriere
ll Chase
ll Clearwater
ll Logan Lake
A large component of this report relied
on Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) technology to create maps of the
aforementioned characteristics. This
approach to use GIS for data analysis allows
community members and stakeholders
to see data in new ways and supports the
engagement of more segments of the
population.
The GIS maps helped break down literacy
and cultural barriers while also involving
more community members in decision
making.
Geography
Defining the geographical study
boundaries was a critical component
of this project and was conducted early
in the process. Understanding that a
component of this report was to include
the Early Development Instrument data
collected and disseminated by the Human
Early Learning Partnership (HELP) at the
University of British Columbia, these
boundaries were carefully considered.
In 2001 the Kamloops/Thompson School
District Board and Make Children First
were involved with HELP in defining
neighbourhood areas that provided
anonymity to kindergarten populations.
The boundary data collected from the
early childhood community was used
and ultimately provided consistency
and seamless integration of this report
into the community since most of the
stakeholders were familiar with the existing
neighbourhood boundaries.

Statistical information
All census data used in this report are from
the 2006 Statistics Canada census. The data
provides a socio-economic picture of the
region.
Area specific profiles are created and
used to inform policy makers, the public
and researchers. For example, an area
profile may contain information regarding
income, occupation, education, ethnicity
and linguistic diversity.
As this information is provided at various
geographical aggregations (i.e., Nation,
Province, community and neighbourhood),
it is important to recognize the sensitive
nature of some information. Therefore,
for the purpose of this report, Statistics
Canada has allowed us to produce a public
document that examines neighbourhoods,
but not smaller areas so as to protect the
anonymity of the public.
Report interpretation
Mapping
All data in this report reflects a snapshot in
time, including the mapping component.
As with community programs and services,
mapped demographics also evolve and
change. Our findings are based on research
conducted between 2006-2008.
A single map location—or dot on a map—
indicates that programs exist there, but
not the number or nature of programs. The
mapping data does not include detailed
information on how many participants
actually attend, or are eligible to attend,
the program.
Outstanding questions regarding a
location may include:
ll What do participants do while they are
there?
ll What are the program or service hours?
ll Who are the staff members?
ll What is the quality of the service
provided?
A cluster of dots indicating several
resource locations may imply that the area
is well served, its children cared for and its
families supported. However, all the same
questions apply. Consider, as well, that
large gaps in resources may simply indicate
the presence of an industrial park, green
space or a parking lot.
Families with young children often
create their own resource networks such
as reading clubs, play dates or lunch
gatherings. Therefore, gaps in dots may not
adequately reflect the social cohesion of a
particular neighbourhood.
Areas with high levels of risk factors may
mask other circumstances. For example,
an area that appears high risk may be
full of students who move frequently, are
unemployed, do not own their homes and
have no income. They differ from those
community members who, generation
after generation, have never held a job and
subsist on social assistance.
These two groups, however, would show
up on the Social Index map with the same
number of challenges, but with very
different long-term prospects. Therefore,
the results of this study should be
interpreted within this context and within
the limitations imposed by these factors.
Information Bulletins
Throughout the report “Bulletin” captions
provide clarification and pose questions on
current political and economic factors in
the region.
Why the study is of interest
UEY combines information about children,
their families and the communities in
which they live. This, in turn, provides an
understanding of the relationship between
children’s outcomes and the environments
in which they are raised.
their children develop well. It also assists
individuals, institutions and communities
who work with children to understand
these processes at the levels where
action is often most effective: at the
neighbourhood and community level.
This is important for Canadian parents
and communities who want to help

Social environment review
A child’s social interaction with other people can have an
important influence on his or her development. “Making sure
children have good nutrition, lots of positive stimulation,
love and responsive care are some good examples. The first
six years are critical. Children who don’t receive what they
need for healthy development during this time may have
great difficulty overcoming deficits later on,” says Valerie Janz,
Make Children First/Understanding the Early Years Manager
(personal communication, 2007).
“Children’s capacity for successful, positive social interaction
begins at a young age and is influenced by early close

guidance and direct instruction that comes from parents
and other family members. These relationships can be
complemented by interactions with other people beyond the
family, such as residents of their neighbourhood and the larger
community. Children’s expectations and behaviours can be
affected by interaction with role models in the community.
Considering our children are our economic, social and political
future that should be a concern for everyone in our society.”
(Valerie Janz, personal communication, 2007).

approximately 12% below the Canadian
($31,757) and BC averages ($31,544).

$54,190.
Employment
There are many economic opportunities
throughout the Kamloops/Thompson
region in a wide variety of industries.
According to Venture Kamloops (www.
venturekamloops.com), in 2008 the top
five employers in Kamloops (employing
families from rural communities within the
school district boundaries as well as urban
study areas) were:
ll Royal Inland Hospital
ll School District #73
ll Thompson Rivers University
ll Convergys
ll Highland Valley Copper
The unemployment rate for BC in January
2008 was 4.1%, lower than the Canadian
average at 5.8% (BCStats, 2008)
Approximately 440 private households2
with children under six years old in 2001
were identified as unemployed. This
represents 9.5% of the private household
population (4,625) with children under six
years old
Education
There are 38 elementary schools within the
region servicing just over 8,000 students
as of September 2005 (School District #73,
2008). Enrolment has continued to decline
in recent years.
There is an estimated one million job
openings expected in the province over
the next 10 years and only 650,000 people
currently in BC’s K-12 system. Many of
these jobs are in skilled trades and for
those with post-secondary education.
This section provides socio-economic
and demographic information about
neighbourhoods where children in the
Kamloops/Thompson School District #73
live. Using 2006 Census data a number of
characteristics of residents, such as family
status, education, employment, income, and
ethnicity are examined.
BULLETIN
Low income cut-offs are income levels at
which families or individuals spend 20% more
than average of their before-tax income on
food, shelter and clothing (average is set at
50% of income before tax).
Some 350,000 jobs will need to be filled by
workers from outside BC, further impacting
demographic findings over the coming
years. Currently, the sectors most in need
of workers are tourism and hospitality,
retail and construction (BC Government
Website News Release, Feb. 26, 20083).
Here’s a look at the education profile for
the region:
ll In 2001, 30% (22,245) of people over the
age of 20 had less than a high school
education
ll In 2006, 24.55% (15,485) of people over
the age of 20 had less than a high school
education
The following section of maps provides
a snapshot of the above-noted
demographics throughout the Kamloops/
Thompson region.

In 2001, the Kamloops/Thompson birth to six-year-old
population was 5,515. In 2006 the population increased by
29.4% to 7,135.
The Juniper Ridge/Valleyview population grew by 85%
(from 390 to 720), while Aberdeen increased by 46% (470

The Statistics Canada Low-Income Cut-off (LICO) figures for 2006 define levels at
which families--or people not in economic families—spend 20% more than their
gross average income on food, shelter and clothing. The average is 50%.
The LICO for a Kamloops/Thompson family of four in 2006 was between $26,579
and $33,046 gross annual income. This figure varied based on rural VS urban
communities.
The Juniper Ridge/Valleyview incomes were above LICO figures, while North
Kamloops and Northwest Kamloops had the highest percent of low family incomes.

The Kamloops/Thompson percentage of lone parent families is
15.7%, while the BC average is 12%.
Lone parent families comprise 25-40% of the total families
in North Kamloops, Kamloops-Downtown and Westsyde/
Bachelor Heights.
Some research suggests that a higher proportion of children
with cognitive and behavioural barriers come from lone-parent
families (Lipman, Boyle, Dooley & Offord, 1998; Ross, Roberts
& Scott, 1998). Conversely, where there is a higher incidence
of two parent families in a neighbourhood, there is healthier
child and adolescent development (Brooks-Gunn, Duncan,
Klebanov, & Sealand, 1993).

Kamloops’ 2006 unemployment rate was 6.0%, matching the annual provincial rate.
Unemployment rates were highest in Northwest Kamloops and North Kamloops.
“City planning and social planning may be aware of the unemployment numbers, but
it has implications for new businesses and development on the North Shore.”

persons who, during the week (Sunday to Saturday) prior to
Census Day (May 16, 2006), were without paid work or
without self-employment work and were available for work
and either: (a) had actively looked for paid work in the
past four weeks; or (b) were on temporary lay-off and
expected to return to their job; or (c) had definite
arrangements to start a new job in four weeks or less

Thirty-one percent of residents over the age of 15 completed
high school, but did not complete any post-secondary
education. This is only somewhat below the provincial average
of 34.8%.
The percentage of graduates in each neighbourhood over
the age of 15 varied from 28% to 34%. Brocklehurst residents
possess the highest percentage of graduates.
Education questions on the census have undergone significant
changes since 2001. Consequently, the concept of “some
post-secondary education” was not collected in 2006. The
focus, instead, was on completed qualifications rather than
participation (Statistics Canada website, 2008).

Map 7: Percentages of mobility

within the same community
Ten percent of the Kamloops/Thompson population moved residence within the School
District area. Fifteen percent of the North Kamloops population moved around in the City of
Kamloops.
The neighbourhoods with the highest mobility are: Kamloops-Downtown, North Kamloops,
Northwest Kamloops and Sahali.
High rates of residential mobility often correspond to social disruption and weakened
social ties that can lead to crime and other types of anti-social behaviour. Strong social ties
foster neighbourhood cohesion and collective efficacy. Those living in socially cohesive
neighbourhoods are more willing to intervene on behalf of the common good (Sampson,
Raudenbush, & Earls, 1997).

Map 10: Average family income levels
The census determined the median income for BC families was
$62,346 before tax. Within the Kamloops/Thompson 58% (7
out of 12) neighbourhoods exceeded this annual income.
Total income is calculated from all sources including
employment income, income from government programs,
pension income, investment income and any other money
income.
Median family income calculation includes all incomes—even
families with no reported income—and creates a mid-line
average. Half of the population, then, is greater than the
median, while the other half is less.

Aboriginal Peoples
of Aboriginal Peoples
Within Kamloops/Thompson there are nine First Nations Bands and
8,350 identified Aboriginal Peoples that live both on and off reserve.
The Aboriginal population accounts for 8% of the total population
with the highest proportion identified in Mount Paul/Heffley Creek/
Rayleigh and North Kamloops.
Aboriginal People include those from at least one Aboriginal group
including North American Indian; Métis or Inuit; those who reported
being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian as defined by the Indian
Act of Canada; or members of an Indian band or First Nation (Statistics
Canada website, 2009).
The 2006 Census shows that the population of self-identified
Aboriginals has surpassed the one million mark. Their national
population is rising. In 2006, Aboriginal Peoples accounted for
3.8% (1,172,790) of the total population of Canada—up from 3.3%
(976,305) in 2001 and 2.8% (799,010) in 1996.

Where are our community assets?
This section shows the distribution of
resources in the region and discusses the
implications of the findings.
Neighbourhood resources provide
support to families and residents in
raising children and assuring their optimal
development. By investigating the links
between the quantity and diversity of
services available for children (such as
health and social services, parks and
recreation), communities can evaluate
the effectiveness of these resources and
determine how best to distribute them.
Establishing the links to outcomes is the
focus of the Early Childhood Development
report, the companion document to this
Community Mapping Study.
Past research suggests that increase and
availability of programs and services lead
to:
ll Enriched experiences
ll More
opportunities for development
of social networks
ll Reduction in developmental problems
ll Early intervention
ll Support
Scarcity of resources can result in reduced
opportunities for enrichment, lack of
supportive environments, and an increased
need for preventive and corrective action.
Providing quality service can be expensive
as well as labour intensive. It is, therefore,
essential that services are effective and
demographically appropriate (see Jencks &
Mayer, 1990 for a review of the theories of
neighbourhood influences).
The community maps include both
rural and urban areas. Programs that
originate in Kamloops often have outreach
components that extend to outlying
communities. The Inventory of Services
Appendix provides detailed information
regarding each program including those
outreach services.
A community helps its residents by
offering a range of programs and services
that meet the unique needs of its children.
Programs and services may address one or
more of the following:
ll Recreational activities
development
programs
ll Intervention services
Obvious resource categories emerged
during the course of the project. Many
programs incorporate elements from each
area. For example, while childcare centres
are listed as a child-centred resource,
the child’s family also benefits from this
program.
Childcare resources enable parents to
work or go to school, assured that their
child is receiving sound care. Childcare
resource centres may also offer distinct
support services such as parenting classes.
Although a parent-focused program, both
children and community benefit.
ll Educational
ll Support
These types of programs provide
opportunities that increase the quality of
life, while increasing access to supportive
social networks. Four program resource
categories were examined. Each category
has important influence on child
development outcomes. These include:
ll Child-centred resources
ll Parent-centred resources
ll Community-centred resources
ll Food Security resources
The Aboriginal community represents a
unique aspect of the Kamloops/Thompson
UEY community and is profiled within
the culturally related resources section.
However, many of the systems and services
within Kamloops/Thompson are inclusive
of the Aboriginal population and their
culture.
Child-centred Resources
Early childhood programs have the
potential to increase a child’s readiness
for learning, thereby enhancing his or
her lifelong academic and personal
development. However, in order for
these programs to be effective in helping
children achieve their optimal potential,
they need to be developmentally
appropriate and responsive to the
experiences, backgrounds and needs of
the students (Doherty, 1997).
High quality early childhood care and
education have long lasting effects on a
child’s social, intellectual and emotional
development, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Several types of
resources were identified as contributing
to optimal child development:
ll Child Care Centres
ll Pre-schools
ll Nursery Schools
35
ll Kindergartens
ll Early
Childhood Activities and Programs
(Programs and services that primarily
focus on the child, but include the
parent or caregiver in the actual
program delivery.)
ll Literacy Based Programs (Early learning
programs and services where the
primary focus is on developing the
language, communication, and prereading skills of the child. Programs are
parent participation.)
ll Recreation
Programs (Outdoor and
indoor programs for children that focus
on physical development through
games and sport.)
ll Dance, Art, Music (Structured and semistructured programs that focus on the
arts.)
BULLETIN
A child’s readiness to learn at entry
to formal schooling is an important
indicator of his or her future academic
and social success, which in turn can
influence his or her life-long prospects
for employment and financial
security. Programs for young children
that enhance their physical, social,
emotional, and cognitive development
help provide the foundation for later
learning (Doherty, 1997).
Family-centred
resources
Community-centred
resources
Positive parenting practices are related to
increased pro-social behaviours in children
and a decreased likelihood of behavioural
problems (Chao & Willms, 1998). The
literature also suggests that parenting
and life skills training for adults can serve
as protective factors, thereby decreasing
children’s risk for problems (Harachi,
Catalano, & Hawkins, 1997).
Children living in more civic
neighbourhoods (characterized by
factors such as helpful neighbours, safe
environments and the presence of good
role models) were more likely to have
participated in sports-related activities
(Offord, Lipman, & Duke, 1998).
Resources that provide support to families
can include:
ll Pre/post natal support (Services and
resources for pregnant women and
their partners and post natal services for
families with babies up to six months
old.)
ll Parenting support services (Education
and support services and community
resources for parents with young
children. Programs focus on helping the
parent—one-on-one and group—and
may or may not include the child in the
actual program delivery or service.)
ll Drop-in programs (No registration
requirement. Participants may drop in
any time during program hours.)
As well, a study on involvement in sports
found that active parents tend to have
active children and that families with
higher incomes were more likely to have
children involved in sports as compared
to families with lower incomes (Kremarik,
2000).
Six types of community-centred resources
were identified as contributing to optimal
child development:
ll Professional support for families and
therapies for children (Clinical and group
services for children and families where
a child with a special need is identified.)
ll Recreation facilities
ll Subsidized housing for families (Family
housing units with rent based on total
family income.)
ll Libraries
ll Centres of worship (Programs and
services that faith or spiritually based.)
ll Emergency Medical Services (Medical
services where no appointment is
required.)
ll Aboriginal and Métis organizations
(Agencies and services that primarily
serve and Aboriginal or Métis
populations.)
Food Security resources
According to the Provincial Health
Officer’s Annual Report for 2005, food is a
prerequisite for overall health. Conditions
that either interfere or support access to
healthy food include:
ll Production
ll Processing
ll Distribution
ll Availability
ll Affordability
British Columbians typically have easy
access to various healthy food choices;
however, barriers such as low-income
levels and transportation availability inhibit
that access.
Fortunately, the following resources
contributed to access and affordability of
healthy food choices:
ll Community Gardens
ll Food Banks and Outreach Societies
ll Community Kitchens
ll Farmer’s Markets
ll Retail Food Outlets (Supermarkets,
Specialty Stores, Department Stores)

Using this report to inform planning and policy
“The early years of life play a crucial role far
beyond childhood. Research shows that
many challenges in adult society—mental
health problems, heart disease, criminality,
competence in literacy and numeracy—
have their roots in early childhood.”
(Hertzman, Clyde. 2003. EDI, A Population
Health Perspective)
There are many factors that influence
early child development including: family,
neighbourhood, community, government
policies and the economy. The quality,
affordability and availability of these
resources impacts each child’s overall
health and well being.
This report highlights important
community and neighbourhood
information related to early child
development in the Kamloops/Thompson
region including 2006 socio-economic
status (SES) and demographic data and
an inventory of community resources. The
information is intended to:
ll Build knowledge
The information is further meant to
complement other research findings, such
as those that support strategic approaches
to early childhood program planning and
policy development.
The information contained in this report
provides a picture of what is happening
now and enables people to make
evidence-based decisions for the future.
ll Mobilize
ll Inspire
communities
action
How to use the report as a planning tool and
what the information will help to identify
ll Location
and distribution of community
and neighbourhood resources
(programs, services and early learning
and care opportunities)
ll Mix of services by neighbourhood
ll Equitability
ll Gaps in services
ll Neighbourhood strengths and
resiliencies
ll Neighbourhood SES and demographic
make up
ll Relationships
between SES,
demographic data and early childhood
programs/services
ll Barriers for families to access services
ll Barriers for agencies to provide services
ll Correlation of SES, demographic data
and availability of programs and services
with EDI results**
**Not included in this report, but part of the UEY project, is the Early Development
Instrument (EDI) which measures early childhood vulnerabilities. The EDI was
implemented in 2003, 2006, and will be completed again in 2009. To access the 2003 and
2006 EDI results for Kamloops Thompson go to www.earlylearning.ubc.ca/EDI

Things to consider while
looking at this map
Key elements to look for on a map:
How can you use this information as a catalyst
for change in policy and public behaviours?
1. Map Title - used to understand
what map is about
Does this information relate to the health
of your community?
2. North Arrow - for orientation
And, could this have an impact on growing
health concerns such as: obesity, diabetes
and heart disease?
3. Legend - provides description
of symbols used
Research Brief
Volume 3 - August 2008
Access to convenience
and fast-food food sources for
school age children in the
city of Kamloops
This quarter's research brief
provides a detailed overview of
how to interpret a map. In this
case, the map offers an
opportunity to see spatially the
potential relationship between
fast food restaurants,
convenience stores and their
proximity to a school.
4. Scale bar - used to reference
the actual distance
between points on
the map
Note: A counter service food
outlet is an establishment
where a meal order is placed,
paid for, and received at
a counter.
5. Source info - to determine who
created the map,
when created, and
if there is a disclaimer
