About Us

Friends of Fort Steele Society

Established in 1989, The Friends of Fort Steele Society took over full management of operations in 2004 under a long-term contract with the Province of British Columbia. The Friends are striving to build a sustainable future for Fort Steele by continuing conservation initiatives, building community partnerships, developing a sustainable funding model, and providing visitors an experience that truly enables them to visualize a day in the life of Fort Steele in its heyday.

As a non-profit organization, our support network is our greatest asset in achiving these goals. With over 1,000 Friends of Fort Steele Society Members, over 300 volunteers, countless community partners, and a dedicated staff (20 year-round, over 80 seasonal), our society stands poised to see Fort Steele thrive and prosper into the future for visitors to enjoy for generations to come.
