Kyrsten’s Journey to Buying Her First Home

Kyrsten, a 21-year-old in the mining industry in Williams Lake, BC, made her homeownership dreams a reality with the help of her local credit union after she was denied a mortgage from her former financial institution for being “too young.”

“When I tried through a major bank, they didn’t make me feel heard. When I went to the credit union, they treated me more like a member, and they seemed to care genuinely and want to help me with my goals.”
