Grant helps library buy new tech gear

Local children will benefit from new STEAM programming at the Invermere Public Library, thanks to a community grant from BC Hydro.

A $1,500 contribution to the Friends of Invermere Public Library has allowed the library to purchase coding, building and programmable gear, and add more science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) programming. Find out more HERE.

Through its Community Giving Program, BC Hydro is providing $37,500 this year to East Kootenay organizations for initiatives that promote safety, encourage smart energy ideas, and develop the workforce of tomorrow.
