Mark your calendars for Light-Up the Hospitals! Pledge Day 2026 on Friday, December 4, at Waneta Plaza! This annual community tradition brings people together to celebrate the season and support better healthcare closer to home.
Help us cross the finish line for Mental Health Matters
This year, we’re focusing on reaching our $2 million Mental Health Matters Campaign goal to strengthen mental health care at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital (KBRH).
The campaign is currently 65% of the way to its goal, funding important improvements to the Daly Pavilion, Harbour House and the Pediatric Mental Health Outdoor Space. These investments will help create safer, more therapeutic and patient-centred environments for people of all ages receiving mental health care.
