The Armstrong-Spallumcheen Environmental Trust, a registered society, was started in 2002 by a group of concerned, caring, aware citizens.
We agreed the over use of Earth's resources caused the conundrum now known as anthropogenic-caused climate change.
Today's mission statement sees us as an awareness society raising bursary dollars for those PVSS students choosing environmental-related post secondary studies. To date, we have provided 16 bursaries.
On Feb. 3, at 7 p.m., an ASET-sponsored presentation by Greg O'Neill, from the Kalamalka Forestry Centre, will be held at Armstrong-Spallumcheen Centennial Hall theatre.
Please attend. It's by donation, for you to learn about a forestry perspective facing the climate change reality.
If you would like to get involved within the ASET advocacy, come and attend a regularly called meeting at the Armstrong-Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce facility the second Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m.
The annual ASET sponsored Green Fair of environmental products and corporations will be held April 16 at Askew's parking lot this year. A new electric car and professional accompaniment is one participant of about 20 slated to be there.
This past 2015 season we awarded three bursaries to students already on their paths.
We pledge support for youth during what is often a difficult financial time of life. Please pledge your support. The young people need your help.
