Located 25 kilometres east of Enderby and situated on ten acres of forest along the Shuswap River, Kingfisher Interpretive Centre Society (KICS) has been running outdoor experiential education opportunities for local children and visitors alike for over 30 years.
First West Foundation, through the Enderby & District Financial, a division of First West CU Community Endowment has been unwavering in its support, having proudly awarded $46,341 in funding to KICS since 2014. This year, a $10,000 grant was awarded for the Conservation through Education program.
“We are very proud of our relationship with KICS, and the conservation work delivered through their programs,” says Susan Byrom, executive director, First West Foundation. “As we strive to be better stewards of the environment and better understand our communities, the education programs designed by KICS are needed now more than ever.”
Their program, Conservation Through Education, provides educational lessons to school children (grades K-12), and summer visitors focusing on local environmental sustainability, ecosystem support and the salmon lifecycle. Nearly 3,000 students connect with the environment and learn about the wonders it holds through hands-on learning activities.
