With a $50,000 contribution announced today, Integris Credit Union is providing a significant boost to the local fundraising effort for a new ice arena and theatre complex in Downtown Quesnel.
Integris Credit Union and the North Cariboo Multi-Centre fundraising initiative are partnering on the development of the North Cariboo Nature Mural, an innovative and artistic feature that will help spur community and corporate sponsorships. This major art installation will be multi-dimensional and make use of a number of materials to showcase the nature of the region, including recycled glass, wood, rock and other items. Individuals and businesses are invited to purchase an art piece component, which include river rocks at $25, $50 and $100, fish and wildlife from $500 to $7,500 and trees for $10,000.
“Integris Credit Union is owned and managed by our people right here at home” remarks Bruce Steele, Quesnel Integris Director. “Our investment in the North Cariboo Multi-Centre represents yet another commitment to people and our community. As a member-owned financial institution, Integris turns a large portion of our profit into meaningful investments that enhance our community; our way of life” continues Steele. “I would like to thank the people who choose to do their banking, insurance and financial planning with Integris. Your choice has direct impact – your choice makes Quesnel a better place to live!”
“We sincerely thank Integris Credit Union for their support of this exciting project,” said CRD Vice-Chair Ted Armstrong. “Their contribution is a testament to their commitment to the residents of the North Cariboo and making our region a great place to live, work and play.”
“I am excited to see Quesnel’s corporate community continue to step up and take a leadership role in the fundraising initiative to support the North Cariboo Multi-Centre,” added Mayor Mary Sjostrom. “Integris Credit Union is an outstanding corporate citizen. On behalf of Council I applaud them for their commitment to this project, an opportunity that allows everyone in the community to participate in being part of the new building.”
With this contribution, Integris Credit Union will be acknowledged for naming the overall mural, and will have a gold pan designation as part of the mural components, the only gold pan to be installed on the mural.
The North Cariboo Multi-Centre will be a modern facility designed to replace the 62-year-old arena and aging theatre infrastructure. It will feature a 1,600 seat NHL-sized arena, a 450-seat performing arts theatre and accompanying event and assembly area.
