“The Trust strives to generate predictable, sustainable and appreciating investment returns to support residents’ efforts to make their communities better places today, and into the future,” said Johnny Strilaeff, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive Officer.

“This past year, we’re proud to have partnered with residents, non-profits, businesses, local governments, First Nations and others.”
