What started with a single act of kindness, has grown to become a movement that has touched nearly every area in the East Kootenays.
Ten years ago, Cranbrook resident Aileen Ingram decided to raise money for a boy so he could replace his stolen bicycle. What started as one act of good service, became two and three and four. More people came on board and began helping her, until they became an organized non-profit body called “Paying it Forward: Kindness in the Kootenays.”
