South Thompson Planning Report
No full textThe South Thompson River Basin is a major sub-regional area of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. The South Thompson serves as a pathway for major salmon runs, a corridor for rail and highway transportation, a recreational resource for the Kamloops/Shuswap population, a scenic treasure, an agricultural base, a reservoir of flat land, and a clean water supply.
