DOWNTOWN KAMLOOPS BIA

Open With Care

A campaign to help local businesses as they open safely !

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN

The ‘Open with Care’ campaign is part of a strategy supported by BIA’s throughout the province intended to inspire businesses to open safely and is designed for organizations within the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association area.

We are excited to see our Downtown vibrant again! While we are extremely excited that Downtown Kamloops is finally getting back to business, we understand that consumers may be hesitant to go back to their previous behaviour.

Along with BIA’s throughout the province, we introduced the ‘Open with Care’ campaigns as an initiative intended to inspire businesses to re-open in a safe, healthy, and compliant manner, and support consumer confidence. Businesses in the Downtown Kamloops are taking responsible steps and following WorkSafeBC regulations to ensure their employees’ health and safety.

It’s crucial for our business leaders to communicate with your customers to reassure them that it’s safe to do business with you.

And for our consumers, when you visit our Downtown, you do so with confidence knowing that responsible steps have been taken to ensure your health and safety.

Through this Campaign we want to communicate:

WorkSafe BC Protocols followed by all businesses creating a safe atmosphere
Support local businesses in line with #ykastrong support local campaign
Downtown is resilient, alive and cares about its customers
Share a consistent message across the City and Province of BC
Prepare the public to be “good consumers”; to shop, live, play, eat, art, with care
Provide our members with the tools to assist them to ‘Open With Care’
