Kamloops invited on triathalon bid

August 30, 2012 Kamloops Daily News:

Organizers of an international triathlon held in Penticton for three decades have approached the City of Kamloops to see if it is interested in putting together a bid. City administrator David Trawin said Ironman Canada organizers recently spoke with officials in the parks and recreation department. An event spokesman recently told a Vernon newspaper that shortlisted communities include Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Whistler and Vernon. The report said Penticton is entering into a new partnership with another triathlon group and parting ways with World Triathlon Corp., which owns the event.
