A Regional Community Service Organization
The Kootenay Boundary Community Services Co-operative (KBCSC) is an organization directed by its members to provide resources and services to people in the West Kootenay and Boundary regions of southeastern British Columbia. Its mission is to work to strengthen its members and address issues of social well-being in the region.
The members are all community-based social service organizations and operate in communities located throughout this region.
A Unique Partnership
These member organizations work together to plan and deliver services that are regional in nature, to develop new ideas through projects, and to support each other to maintain and improve the quality of services they provide.
The co-operative is characterized by:
- voluntary and open membership
- democratic control (one member, one vote)
- member economic participation (both in financial contribution and financial benefit)
- co-operative effort
- concern for community
- placing high value on self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity.
