About Kootenay Risk Services

In June 2014, four Kootenay region credit unions formed the Kootenay Risk Services ("KRS”) support organization. The founding organizations include Columbia Valley, East Kootenay, Grand Forks and Nelson and District credit unions. The core purpose of KRS is to provide the owner credit unions with risk management and compliance resources.
