Episode 6 of Kamloops Last Week has arrived and it's brought to you by Holmes is Where The Heart Is Personalized Matchmaking.

It's an absolute gem of a show, featuring Olympic silver medallist speed skater Jessica Hewitt and up-and-coming Kamloops artist Jeremy Kneeshaw.

KTW editor Chris Foulds tackles four Kamloops issues — the current heat wave, a potential ban on plastic bags, B.C. Premier John Horgan's apparent broken promise to build a cancer care centre and Fortune Motel becoming supportive housing for those who are homeless.

Hewitt, a Kwantlen First Nation member, and Kneeshaw, an Indigenous musician, share their thoughts on the findings of remains of 215 children on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.

The former Olympian also talks about the loss of identity that accompanied the death of her father and her retirement from skating.

Hewitt, president of the Kamloops Long Blades, has started a fundraiser for the struggling club that spurred her skating career.

Kneeshaw shares insight on the death of his grandfather, who succumbed to alcoholism, the Kamloops music scene, his luscious hair, his next album and a possible duet with his wife, Dylana.

We also try to land Jeremy a gig on Jimmy Fallon.
