While this isn't a direct area of responsibility for a municipal government, it should certainly be a top priority as it impacts the quality of life for the people who live here. Kamloops must become a more desirable place to work, live, and play of we want to see the shortage of healthcare workers decline.
We need available and affordable housing, the culture this demographic is seeking, and we should consider what incentives can be offered for relocation. Retention is also a vital consideration.
We should be motivated to make Kamloops a desirable place for healthcare workers to live and raise their families while motivating IH to change the environment they are asking workers to be a part of.

We need to lay down our egos and bring key stakeholders to the table to define how we can each play our part in alleviating this unjustifiable decline in both conditions and care so we can fix the broken system we are unreasonably asking workers to burn themselves out for.
