The Trail Family and Individual Resource Centre Society (F.A.I.R.) received funding from TeckServ to implement The Boys Connection Project. TeckServ is a Teck Service Learning Internship which is a partnership between Teck Metals and Selkirk College. Their goal is to “provide support for a Selkirk Student to undertake a community based research project.” The Boys Connection Project is stage 1 of a 2 stage project. Stage 2 of this project will be funded by a provincial Community Action Initiative grant (CAI) and will begin in September 2011. Trail is one of 5 communities included in the CAI grant. The others are Grand Forks, Castlegar, Nelson and Kaslo.
