The City of Kamloops' deputy CAO says staff pulled the plug on a slideshow Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson was preparing for a business event last week after the mayor forwarded a number of images — including a photo of a sex act — to the local chamber of commerce.

City staff stepped in Deputy CAO Byron McCorkell said in an email to Castanet Kamloops that city staff reached out to Hamer-Jackson weeks before the event offering to help him with his presentation, but the offer was refused. Unaware photos were for event Hamer-Jackson told Castanet Kamloops a number of photos — including the photo of the sexual incident — were sent to him by Howie Reimer, executive director of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

Mayor not sure what he said Reimer said he sent the photos to the mayor — “him only” — and wasn’t aware until the day of the chamber event that they had been collected for use in a presentation. The mayor said he didn't have time to vet the images, and any inappropriate photos wouldn’t have been included as part of his final presentation.
