Volunteer Now!
We have been on hiatus for some months due to funding difficulties, but now we are asking for volunteers to step up to form a lively informal, transitional working group to help us focus on a new, more sustainable direction for the future.
Please get in touch if you have some time this summer or fall and enthusiasm for what we do.
We need help with fundraising.
- Do have any fundraising experience? or
- An interest event organizing and reaching out to potential donors? or
- Perhaps you have a fundraising idea or a sponsorship challenge you’d like to try?
Our Strategic Plan needs to be reviewed and updated with some clear deliverables.
- Do you have experience that could help us reshape our strategic plan?
We want to be able to reach out and communicate with residents, businesses and communities around the Lake clearly, helping build a shared understanding of hope the Lake functions as a cohesive ecosystem, including it watersheds, flora and fauna.
- Do you have any experience of collaboration in supporting the flow of data from the lake’s many monitoring activities, to better understand any changes that are revealed?
- Do you have speaking or writing skills that could help us communicate vital findings to local people?
We want to be able to work with others around the Lake.
- Do you have any connections to local companies such as FortisBC, Columbia Power, Teck, CBT, Realtor or BCHydro?
- Or to local groups like Living Lakes Canada, Kootenay Lake Partnership, Wildsight, or Kootenay Conservation Program?
- What about local governments (the RDCK, City of Nelson and other municipal jurisdictions around the lake) and local environmental education programs (Selkirk College), or
- Local businesses, industry and consultancies with an interest in the lake and its watersheds (such as tourism, breweries, water engineering, local produce)?
