We had a great year at the Fort St. James Community Foundation in 2025! The Board of Directors decided to show their appreciation to all the donors by putting their names in a hat and drawing for a beautiful gift bag! The winning donor was Sam Grill. Sam is a local man, momentarily displaced in another community, but a homegrown boy at heart. Accepting the gift bag is his mom, Monica.

Joyce Helweg created the Helweg Family Fund in 2021. She was reorganizing her life to fit into retirement. Faced with a capital gains issue, it was an easily remedied solution. Pay the taxes or give a gift, in perpetuity, to her community.
The fund was easily set up through the Fort St. James Community
Foundation. Anyone can contribute to the fund and receive an income tax deduction. 2026 is the first year funds be granted for the fund. Stay tuned to see who will benefit from the Helweg Family Fund this year!

Fort St. James Community Foundation has three representatives, chair person Sandra Suylma, vice Chair Greg Willick and Treasurer Joyce Helweg at the Prince George Community Foundation 30 Year Gala in Prince George today and tomorrow.
Today Joyce won the door prize of a $3000 donation to a charity of her choice. There was no trouble deciding where it would go! Joyce is a long time supporter of the Fort St. James Community Foundation and has had it placed in the Helweg Family Fund that will benefit the community of Fort St James in perpetuity!

Way to go people! Our post on Norah Shute reached 558 people!

This is how things work in our community! The Fort St. James Secondary School has lost significant funding for both sports and nutrition in our local high school. The Parent Advisory Committee are trying to rectify the situation because we all know food and sports keep kids active and in school!

It’s all set up and ready to go! E-transfer a donation including your address to [email protected] and you get an income tax receipt and your name put in for a super great prize!

All funds received go into the PAC Legacy Fund with the Fort St. James Community Foundation. The fund gives the interest back every year to the PAC that supports the kids and keeps them in school! How great is that! It’s a gift for a lifetime! Wow! My money is already sent!
