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.

The support the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club has received from Integris is incredible. Integris partnered with us to deliver the Mobile Outreach Program in which we visited 13 elementary schools and impacted over 800 students.  The program delivers coach led Nordic skiing to children who may never have the opportunity because they come from low income households. Integris also recognizes we are a not for profit. They have been there to support us by finding CNSC the best insurance, been there with the ICUBBQ on our volunteer appreciation day, and continually ask how they can join us in creating community enriched initiatives. It is lovely when you can work directly with people who are in your same community and understand your needs. We look forward to building a stronger community through ongoing collaborations with Integris Credit Union.

The people at Integris Credit Union have been the trusted financial advisor of the association for ten years and counting. They have contributed to the financial good health of the association with expert advice and supported the construction of the Hospice Dream Home, to the annual Home & Garden Show and offer members solutions to operating their individual businesses in the dynamic homebuilding sector.
