Hi, my name is Kendra Andjleic, a second-year student from Winnipeg, Manitoba, currently studying at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC, where I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Psychology intending to become a psychiatric nurse. For our group project on Tragic Truths of Kamloops, I’ve chosen to focus on the Tranquille Sanatorium, a historic and eerie site just outside the city. Built in 1907 to treat tuberculosis, it expanded throughout the early 20th century and could house over 300 patients at its peak. As society progressed and we developed cures, the sanatorium was closed and turned into a mental health care facility. The sanatorium was abandoned in the 1980s and has become famous in Kamloops for its haunting reputation. My partner Maria and I hope to delve into this and get real stories of what happened before it was abandoned and why it is supposedly haunted.
