Destination Showcase: Sun Peaks Bike Park, British Columbia
Here is an interesting bit of info about the Terrain Park, it was originally envisioned for an event that was moved to Whistler just before it got started, called Crankworx

Top 10 Ridden Canadian Cities of Summer 2017
Do you have stats on Kamloops this summer vs the same time in 2016? Would be interesting to see how stats were affected with the riding closures this summer approximately half of that time period.

Your rear shock is on backwards. In this position, if you bottom out the shock, the knuckle from the upper rear stays will hit the canister and damage it beyond repair. I know it doesn't look right, but the canister is supposed to face the seat post... Trust me, I had a bike shop put mine on backwards and it totally buggered it beyond repair. to test this, take the spring off and manually move the suspension up and down. you will see that it does not have the correct clearance.

The Kids Don't Ride
No one in my family was a rider. I struggled as a 6 yr old with a shine new too big bike. I finally learned to ride the neighboursmallelr bike and ride it t sunset. Later I rode 11k to my friends house. Built a bike park in the ditch across from my house and ride it non stop. Many family events spent riding everywhere, why would you even walk 2 feet when you could ride? Riding is like a drug, and I am an addict always seeking fresh adventure as much as familiar trail. Tho Kamloops is a great riding area, the last City park meeting I went to was to request that a completely flat riding park be built for little kids to learn how to ride and enjoy the activity without hills and other obstacles to deter them. Small jumps and berms to encourage them at their own pace. Then they can grow onto more challenging venues.
Wouldn't that be awesome?
