Join us at our First Avenue branch on International Credit Union Day, October 17th. Explore our new renos and celebrate our connection to the community.
On the August long weekend each year, LDCU sponsors the family-friendly Kids' Count Fun Zone after the Credit Union's school savings program at Transfer Beach.
For over 40 years, Ladysmith Days has been an exhilarating annual family event, celebrating life in Ladysmith, B.C. with music, food, and community spirit. This vibrant summer celebration features bouncy castles, face painting, balloons, giveaways, and a host of festivities. The event culminates in a spectacular fireworks show, proudly sponsored by LDCU, lighting up the sky in a dazzling finale.
A true jewel of Ladysmith, Transfer Beach park is a major gathering spot for activities and community events.
LDCU is proud to have contributed over $80,000 to the development and refurbishment of Transfer Beach. Nestled along the shoreline, this picturesque park features an elegant amphitheatre for captivating performances and community events, an expansive playground for children's adventures, and a refreshing spray park for hot days. A cherished jewel, Transfer Beach epitomizes the vibrancy of our community.
This annual celebration in Ladysmith attracts thousands of spectators and includes many festive events, including a parade, and culminating with an outstanding firework show.
Since 2006, LDCU has proudly sponsored the Ladysmith Festival of Lights fireworks display, exemplifying our corporate citizenship and community pride. Running from the last Thursday in November to the second Sunday in January, this vibrant event attracts over 15,000 visitors, showcasing our town's spirit. Stroll along 1st Avenue and marvel at the magic of 200,000 sparkling lights, a festive wonderland crafted by dedicated volunteers who invest over 1,000 hours to bring this enchanting display to life.
LDCU recognizes the effort and work involved for all our LSS graduates, and we also understand the rising costs of post-secondary education.
Each year, LDCU presents five scholarships to graduating students at LSS. These scholarships include a $6,000 scholarship in memory of John Ulinder, one of the founding members of the Credit Union who attended every AGM for 50 years. Also included are two scholarships in the amount of $3,500: one in memory of Helmi Kotilla, the first female President of a Board of any Credit Union in BC, and the other in memory of Jack MacDonald, a long-time director and President of the Board. Finally, the last two $1,250 scholarships are for students pursuing vocational or academic programs.
Ladysmith transforms itself into a Christmas village, straight out of a Charles Dickens novel. Come and see everyone celebrating all the Victorian traditions that made Christmas a time of peace and joy. Bring your children, or your inner child, to our parking lot and feast on homemade s'mores while Christmas music takes you back to simpler times.
