Integris Credit Union has been a sponsor of the Coldsnap Festival for many years, with a particular focus on the Community Outreach Workshop Series that we present each year during the festival. Their support allows us to present free-of-charge musicianship workshops and intimate daytime concerts to members of our Prince George community that may not have the financial means or feel comfortable attending our mainstage shows. The workshops feature our mainstage artists, and they are enriching and impactful for both the audience and artists, as we typically present these workshops at venues out in the community (e.g. The Fire Pit, Seniors Centre, Youth Around Prince George), bringing together all walks of the PG community through music. We cannot speak more highly of Integris for their unwavering support of our arts and culture community!

Our partnership with Integris Credit Union has a tremendous effect on the YMCA’s ability to impact the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities. Integris and the YMCA are building a stronger region through a number of initiatives including the Integris Community Centre in Vanderhoof and Foundry in PG. Our innovative collaboration has resulted in the YMCA of Northern BC winning a YMCA Canada Innovation Award and enabled our organization to develop capacity, capability and impact throughout the region.”

The Nechako Valley Exhibition (Fall Fair) is Vanderhoof’s largest annual event, hosted over three days in August at the Society owned and operated 42-acre Exhibition Grounds. The Exhibition Grounds also provides an affordable, multi-purpose recreation centre for horse-back riding, horse boarding, clinics and shows, 4-H, major sanctioned rodeo events, public camping, archery tournaments, wildfire evacuation facilities for people and livestock, youth summer camps, public recreational vehicle storage, and community events. Integris Credit Union has contributed to essential capital projects at the Grounds including the construction of the 4-H Pavilion, water tower renovation, kitchen upgrades project, and more. We value doing business with Integris because we appreciate their commitment to enhancing 'life out here'. We look forward to partnering with the Community Foundation in future endeavours, and would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for all that you do for the Society!
