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.”

Quesnel Integris Credit Union was VERY responsive to our needs. Integris has also offered to create financial literacy workshops for the LGBTQ2S+ community ... an opportunity that we hope our community will avail themselves of.

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!
