Inclusive Kimberley is a multi-phase project to improve accessibility within our community, expanding opportunities for people of all abilities to live, work and play in Kimberley. The project has received funding from the Regional District of East Kootenays, Columbia Basin Trust and Canada Summer Jobs to begin Phase I, which involves identifying accessibility opportunities and priorities and building partnerships for solutions. The results of Phase I are available here: Summary Report and Detailed Report.

We are looking for volunteers, partners and donors to develop this major project! If you’d like to contribute, please contact Pamela Currie at pamela.currie@sustainablekimberley.ca
