The Shuswap Trail Alliance (STA), the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society (LASS), and the Salmar Community Association are pleased to announce a new and innovative community non-profit partnership.
Sharing an office downtown, STA and LASS have joined together to rent the space from the Salmar Community Association, owners and operators of the Salmar Grand Cinemas and historic Salmar Classic Theatre in Salmon Arm who put 100 per cent of the funds they receive back into the community through upgrades, donations, and scholarships.
In British Columbia there are 29 thousand non-profit organizations employing 66 thousand full time and 48 thousand part time, as well as relying on about 1.5 million volunteers. The non-profit sector in BC is larger than the fisheries and mining sectors combined. And with funding not guaranteed, the non-profit sector as a whole has learned to be very creative with its resources to continue to run quality programs uninterrupted.
The Shuswap Trail Alliance was born out of communities working together. In 2005 regional leadership came together to address the growing call to improve how we design and move in our communities. By working together, communities realized they could share knowledge, resources, and time to create trail infrastructure that supports active healthy living. Since 2006, partners have worked through the Shuswap Trail Alliance on over 120 greenway trail projects throughout the region. There are over 820 km of trails in the 2014 Trail Guide.
