The North Kootenay Lake communities are already creating various new means for helping those who are being harmed by the necessary restrictions placed on us by the covid-19 pandemic. CFNKLS expects to be helping with such community efforts as well. Thank your for your generous past support. See Events page for recipients of both Emergency Community Funding cycles (spring and fall).
