COMMUNITY STRUCTURE

Sun Rivers is served by the CSROA (Community of Sun Rivers Owners Association),designed to meet the needs of the community over the long term. Common interests of the residents are addressed through a community association and representative neighbourhood associations. www.mysunrivers.com

The CSROA Board of Directors administers the Community guidelines and manages the common interests, lands and amenities for the benefit of residents. Every neighbourhood at Sun Rivers has architectural design guidelines to ensure investor certainty and enduring value over time.

Similar to a strata-title development all owners pay a community common area maintenance fee which provides for the resort level of maintenance and community amenities such as the entrance landscape and water feature, paths, street lighting, community decorations etc.

Each Neighbourhood Association is represented at the Community level (CSROA) by the Neighbourhood President. The Board of Directors for each neighbourhood administer their neighbourhood guidelines and manage the common interests within their neighbourhood. Residents in adult communities and townhome neighbourhoods pay additional costs for their neighbourhood fees as they typically have more common areas and services within their neighbourhood. These fees may include individual property landscaping, neighbourhood landscaping, shared exterior and roof maintenance such as in townhomes, and other convenience and lifestyle services that may be specific to their neighbourhood.

CONSTRUCTION

At Ladera, special attention has been paid to environmentally superb technologies. Approaching Step code 4, ICF (insulated concrete foundations),humidity control, geothermal heating and cooling, dual water systems, safety and security are only a few of the thoughtful construction elements.

THE LEASE

In 1995 the Tk’emlups First Nation made an important economic development decision and voted by a landslide margin of 74% to sell the leasehold interest in the site now known as Sun Rivers. This provided for a portion of its reserve land to be reverted back to the federal government to be held jointly with the First Nation for leasing. Today this prime parcel of real estate overlooking the City of Kamloops and South Thompson River has become Sun Rivers, one of Canada’s most innovative resort communities. Experts consider this lease agreement to be one of the most comprehensive and secure ever established.

Sun Rivers holds the 99-year head lease and the head landlord is ‘His Majesty the King in right of Canada’ (the Crown). The lease has been structured to most fully protect the investments of the homeowners, the investors, the lenders and Sun Rivers. Purchasers secure their interest through the purchase of a registered leasehold title which secures their interest for the term of the lease in accordance with the rights and obligations outlined in the lease.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

The Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc First Nation is the local government and like any municipality collects property taxes and provides and arranges for services to the community. Services include 911, fire protection, police protection, library access, schools and busing, paramedic and ambulance service, hospitals and public health and recreation in the City of Kamloops.

Services are provided through the First Nation and a number of servicing arrangements with service providers such as the City of Kamloops and Corix Multi-Utility Services.

Property taxes are paid to the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation. The precedent-setting Head Lease, Sub-Lease and Master Development and Servicing Agreement clearly sets out the process by which taxes for services are levied. Sun Rivers’ residents pay property tax rates that are reasonably comparable to the City of Kamloops rates. The rate setting is based on assessed values determined by the BC Assessment Authority. Sun Rivers residents are eligible to apply for Homeowner grants.

Sun Rivers is outside the City of Kamloops boundaries but within the boundaries of the TNRD (Thompson Nicola Regional District). Sun Rivers residents may vote in the TNRD elections.

Early May Update: Ladera Townhomes Kamloops

May 6th 2026

Completion Is Weeks Away

Spring has settled in at Sun Rivers, and with it, the site at Ladera has entered its busiest stretch yet. With completion of this phase of townhomes along Sun Rivers Drive targeted for June to July 2026, the work on-site over the coming weeks is focused on the detailed finishing that brings each home across the line — interior millwork, final mechanical commissioning, landscaping, and the many small details that make a home feel finished rather than simply built.

For those following the project, this is the milestone we've been building toward. The homes now selling are ready for completion this summer, which means the window to choose a home for near-term possession is still open, but it's narrowing.

If you've been considering a visit to the show home, the weeks between now and late June are the best time to see the finished product take shape in real time.

New: A Dedicated Show Home Page

We've added a new show home page to the website. It brings everything in one place — current hours, the address and map, private appointment booking, and a contact form for those who want to coordinate a specific time. You can visit the page directly here: liveatladera.ca/show-home.

For reference, the show home remains open on the following schedule:

Saturdays and Sundays, 12–2 PM
5032 Sun Rivers Drive, Kamloops
Private appointments available outside regular hours — contact the Engel & Völkers sales team

Colour Palettes: A Reminder for Spring Buyers

The three interior colour palettes introduced in our winter update — Flax, Cotton, and Shale — remain available to buyers still choosing their home. Each palette carries the home's overall design language in a slightly different direction, from the warm and natural to the bold and contemporary, and each has been paired with finishes selected for how they wear over time.

For buyers who have not yet selected a home, palette availability depends on which specific unit is chosen. The sales team can walk through which palettes remain available across the currently unsold homes.

On Site This Spring

Spring at Sun Rivers is one of the quieter arguments for living here. The hillside greens up early, the trails connecting the community come back into regular use, and the first fairway at Bighorn fills with golfers most afternoons. For those moving in this summer, the community is actively in its most welcoming season.

We'll continue to share progress photos and site updates on the website and through the mailing list as the final weeks unfold.

What's Coming Next

A summer update will follow closer to completion, with photos of the finished homes, details about the move-in process for first residents, and an update on unit availability. For those already in conversation with the sales team, your point of contact will be in touch directly as completion milestones approach.

In the meantime, the website remains the best place to find current information — from floor plans and finishes to show home hours and the latest news.

Staying Connected

Anyone signed up for project updates through the website will continue to receive news as it becomes available. Updates are also posted on the site so they remain easy to reference over time.
