VARS has been approved by Columbia Basin Trust for the funding of a 38-kW generator for Juniper Square 1 and an 80-kW generator for Juniper Square 2. 🎉


“In Valemount, we’re sometimes prone to long power outages,” said Korie Marshall, Administrator, Valemount Affordable Rentals Society. “Having these backup power systems will help everyone stay warm and ensure that our buildings don’t freeze up. The generators will help us maintain our properties, keep them sustainable for the Society and give peace of mind to the people who live here."


A huge thank you to Korie for spearheading this initiative! Our team is currently working on having these installed as soon as possible. 💚

We are thankful to live, work, and recreate on the unceded, traditional territories of the Simpcw and Lheidli T'enneh First Nations.

We acknowledge that colonization is not a relic of the past, but is ongoing and why it’s important to be mindful of that participation.
We recognize that Indigenous peoples contribute to the land amidst broken promises through many gifts and talents.
We celebrate that land by honouring and respecting its history, hoping that others will stand in solidarity with these Nations on the path to reconciliation.
