Well, there is a team who is waiting to meet you! The Thompson Valley R/C Race Club offered races of various scales with radio-controlled vehicles, on both indoor and outdoor courses, throughout the year.

From its beginnings at the gymnasium of UCC, now Thompson Rivers University, to a warehouse where The Great Canadian Super Store now stands. The club moved on to McDonald Park for a couple of years. These days, the club spends their winter months (October to March) in the basement gymnasium at Catholic school Our Lady of Perpetual Help on 235 Poplar Street.
