Newsletter #12 - September 2026

Castlegar Branch Grand Re-Opening

Saturday, September 26, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Castlegar branch.

After more than two years of work, we are ready to celebrate, and we would love for you to join us. We have invested significantly in our Castlegar branch, improving the building inside and out, upgrading the technology, and continuing to invest in the people and local leadership that make the branch what it is.

The goal was simple: create a better, more comfortable place to bank, meet with our team, and serve members for many years to come.

Now that the work is complete, we hope you will come celebrate with us. Castlegar Minor Hockey will be serving barbecue by donation, 99.3 FM will be live on location, and members can enter to win a $500 local gift basket.

Drop in anytime between 11 – 2, grab a burger, say hello, and take a look around.

We are proud of what has changed, and even more excited about what comes next for StellerVista in Castlegar.

Now Recruiting: 2026 Member Advisory Committee

Our next Member Advisory Committee begins in October, and we are looking for members to take part. This year’s topic is “Why Choose a Credit Union”. We want honest perspectives on how people choose where to bank, what makes credit union membership meaningful, and what StellerVista should offer the next generation of members.

Participants will join a small group for a short series of facilitated discussions. No banking background, homework, or financial disclosure is required — your everyday perspective is all what we are looking for.

We would especially like to hear from younger adults, newer members, and those who do only some of their banking with us.
