The Nechako Nordics is a relatively small cross country ski club located in Vanderhoof, BC. Our club has been active for over 30 years promoting cross county skiing in the Vanderhoof area. Last winter, for the first time, we initiated a Ski Rental Program. Our objective for this program is to keep ski equipment rental costs low and affordable. The Ski Rental Program was a phenomenal success! However, we quickly realized that while we have enough ski equipment for young children, we were sadly lacking equipment for interested older youth and adults. The Integris Credit Union funding we have received will help to correct this problem. Integris funding will also allow us to purchase waxing equipment so that club volunteers can efficiently and effectively wax our skis on a regular basis (storage wax application in the spring, storage wax removal in the late fall and a mid winter glide wax application). A BIG thank you to the Integris Credit Union Community Foundation for their support!

We are so grateful to have Integris in the community of Fraser Lake! Thank you for all you do.

The Fort St. James Public Library's mission is to support and create a space in the community where all are welcome and nurtured, surrounded by resources to inspire them. Our staff and public computers have been in need of updating for years now, and thanks to the Foundation, we have been able to achieve this goal. On behalf of the Trustees of the Fort St. James Public Library Association, the staff, the patrons, and the community at large, we want to thank the Foundation for the very generous donation which enabled us to buy these new computers for the public and the staff. Having access to technology for the community is an ongoing aspect of our strategic plan. We recognize how much the Integris Community Foundation contributes to the communities it serves. We will be sure that the Foundation is acknowledged publicly in the library. Partnerships are very important to us and so again we thank you for being a partner to the community and to the library.
