How the Community and Donors Came Together

In late summer of 2023, the Bush Creek Wildfire ravaged communities in the North Shuswap area, 235 structures were lost, more than 45,000 hectares burnt, and countless lives were impacted.

The above video provides a look into SCF’s efforts to assist North Shuswap disaster relief following last year’s devastating wildfires. Discover how the community and donors came together to support neighbours and help rebuild the impacted areas. Thank you to the hundreds of donors that supported the Foundation’s fundraising efforts, and for your continued support and dedication to helping those in need.
