We are proud to support active youth in our community!

We have a special NAC for spelling around here—but sometimes we still get it wrong! In the NES newsletter, we meant to say that the money for the pinnies came from NACF, the Nakusp and Area Community Foundation. Thank you, NACF, for your generous support! 🔷 We scored some awesome new pinnies for sports and the tryathlon! They’re bright, fun, and ready for action. Here we are with some of our PAC team and Leadership Committee showing off pinnies 6 7! 🤷‍♀️ We can’t wait to see everyone wearing them during games and events. Go team!

MEET OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Born and raised in Vancouver BC, Wendy Levan moved to Nakusp in August 2020, quickly settled into the Arrow Lakes Community and joined the NACF Board of Directors a few months later. She and her husband are professional musicians and have since connected with many neighbouring communities through live music. Along with teaching group music lessons for youth through Fauquier CARES, Wendy has been an active participant of the Nakusp Community Choir, The Arrow Lakes District Art Council, The West Kootenay Regional Arts Council, and the Redi Grant Program. She feels a deep sense of belonging to Nakusp and its surrounding areas and has formed friendships she never thought possible. Her focus as an NACF board member is rooted in supporting the community through inclusivity, accessibility, personal connection and communication.
