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 Exploration Place is a non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity. Our mission is “To provide learning opportunities that foster an understanding of significant past and current issues shaping our community by linking experiences within the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George to the world in a unique, participatory Museum of regional history, science, and technology.” The Exploration Place is the largest museum and the only science center in northern BC and is a much-loved cultural asset and community gathering place. When we have needed support, whether it was sponsorship or a loan of a BBQ to fundraise for our summer camps, our friends at Integris Credit Union have always been there for us. Their generosity has helped ensure we can continue to help 180 young Canadians each summer develop an appreciation for and understanding of science and technology.

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