KAMLOOPS, B.C. — Tourism Kamloops is issuing a plea to the community to get on board a new ********** direct flight between the river city and Toronto scheduled to start this June.

CEO Beverly DeSantis says the link to Toronto presents a significant opportunity to Kamloops and tourism companies, including nearby Sun Peaks.

But she says those opportunities hinge on people filling those planes.

********** will run the direct flight to Toronto three times a week beginning in June and ending in October unless there is enough usage to keep it going.
