In 1987, a new Kamloops riding was created from parts of Kamloops—Shuswap riding. In 1998, it was renamed "Kamloops, Thompson and Highland Valleys".
It consisted of: Electoral Areas A, B, J, L, O and P of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District; The City of Kamloops; the Village of Chase; and the District Municipality of Logan Lake.
It was redefined in 1996 to consist of: Subdivisions A, B and E of Thompson-Nicola Regional District, including Skeetchestn Indian Reserve and Logan Lake District Municipality, excepting Spatsum Indian Reserve No. 11; the City of Kamloops; and Kamloops Indian Reserve No. 1.
In 2003, the riding was abolished, and a new riding, "Kamloops—Thompson", was created with substantially the same boundaries. In 2005, this district was renamed "Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo".
