700 Cambridge Crescent

Sikh Cultural Society

700 Cambridge Crescent is a large Gurdwara (Sikh temple) in Brocklehurst between Singh Street and Cambridge Crescent. Sometime after the Sikh Cultural Society was organized, Mr Sher Singh donated 3 acres of land on Cambridge Crescent for building a temple. It was built in 1972. Based on Aerial Maps on kamloops.ca, the building was expanded to its current form between 1982 and 1994.

Currently the Sikh Cultural Society still uses in the building.

Currently, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of All Saints congregation still meets in the building.
