Cowichan Foundation Will Lead the Kinsol Capital Campaign

When it was decided to raise the remaining $2 million needed to rehabilitate the Kinsol Trestle through a community campaign, the Cowichan Foundation stepped forward to lead this important initiative.

The Cowichan Foundation has a long history of quietly making a difference in the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD). Incorporated as a non-profit society in 1982, the Cowichan Foundation’s purpose is to contribute to the social, cultural and physical improvement of communities in the CVRD.

Through the years, the Foundation has been the beneficiary of some significant gifts, but most of the Foundation’s funds are generated through small donations from members of the community.

The Foundation provides bursaries and scholarships to Cowichan Valley students pursuing post-secondary education at Vancouver Island University and other institutions.

The Foundation is running the Kinsol Trestle Capital Campaign in conjunction with the Cowichan Valley Regional District and Community Futures Cowichan.
