YOU ASKED: Can you tell me what is being built behind the huge retaining wall on Bunker Road?

— Cindy Frayne

OUR ANSWER: That’s a Q9 data centre, Cindy.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much more to say about the building because it’s somewhat shrouded in secrecy.

In fact, we tried hunting this down for a reader back in March and learned that the City of Kamloops signed a confidentiality agreement with the company, preventing City officials from saying anything more than “It’s a Q9 data centre.”

We know from our own Daily News archives that Q9 is the name of a Canadian company that stores sensitive information for government and corporate clients — information housed in buildings called data centres.

Q9 Networks operates such centres in Brampton, Toronto and Calgary.

According to our story archive, the company had asked the City of Kamloops to keep quiet about the building on Bunker Road, citing security reasons among other issues.

The data centre will employ eight to 10 people at first, possibly more if the data centre expands.
