Fourteen of Kamloops’ best homes including The Villas are being showcased in a new event by the Canadian Home Builders Association Central Interior (CHBA-CI) called the Parade of Homes.

“Each home will be unique in style featuring latest in trends and workmanship.”

The Parade of Homes will offer new homebuyers, and those thinking of building or remodeling, an opportunity to get exposed to different homes and ask questions.

Local professional builders, land developers and product suppliers will be on hand to provide answers regarding new products, technologies and designs.
