CONNECTING PEOPLE
We live in a world where we are connected with other people – socially, politically, economically, and environmentally. Increased trade between countries, the growth of international organizations, and changes in transport and communications technology mean that these connections are rapidly increasing. We share geography, resources, and the many benefits of living in central Bri
tish Columbia. Because of these close connections, it is all the more difficult for us to ignore the need felt by those around us. UNITING THE SHUSWAP
The entire Shuswap must be united in a concern for the communities we live in and the people we live with. Caring for our environment, the education of the generations that will follow us, our seniors that have preceded us, and the ability for all to enjoy the quality of life that the Shuswap can provide. With these connections in mind, Shuswap Community Foundation seeks to unite those who care about our communities with those organizations addressing the needs of our Shuswap. WHAT WE DO
