Community
is who we are...
People make our community what it is. Your Community Foundation is run by your neighbours, friends, and family. We are here to help you find ways to help your community... because that's just what we do.

Saturday was the last day of the CFC All In Conference in Victoria, B.C.
It has been an inspiring, thought provoking, radical and encouraging opportunity for Gilles Leger and I .

We would like to both thank the North Thompson Communities Foundation , the Victoria Community Foundation for hosting the event , our sponsors , and the First Nations Peoples of this territory, Lekwungken/Songhees
