Aberdeen

As one of the fastest-growing neighbourhoods in Kamloops, Aberdeen has become a popular location to live for both new and current residents. While Aberdeen is primarily residential, there are several major retailers located in the area such as Costco & Canadian Tire. The largest shopping and entertainment centres in Kamloops is also located in the area; Aberdeen Mall.

The TCC houses the Canada Games Aquatic Center, indoor tracks, gymnastics, basketball courts and a multitude of major sporting events throughout the year including the BC Lions training camp.
