Recognizing Those Who Support the Gathering Place
As a supporter of the Gathering Place, you will be permanently associated with this important initiative.
All donors of $100 and more will receive a unique memento, a stylized feather pendant carved from elk antler by Dwayne Orvis, a local First Nations artist and musician. The feather has been chosen as it symbolizes many things to different North American First Nation cultures: trust, honor, respect, knowledge and much more.
Those who give $10,000 or more, will be recognized through the inclusion of your name and logo on a fixture within the facility along with a commitment by the college to publicize your support.
Your support of Aboriginal students at Selkirk College will also be permanently recognized on a distinctive flagstone wall plaque.
