KOOTENAY RENT BANK
It is a fact that there are so many people who are only a pay cheque or two away from not being able to pay their rent. At Castlegar and District Community Services our Mission is:
We improve the quality of people’s lives by providing assistance, counselling and support, and by working for social change in our communities.
