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.

LDCU Scholarships

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 Old Tyme Christmas
