New space. Same spirit.
support the move
Discover Circus—Nelson’s home for inclusive movement and circus arts—is relocating. As we prepare to move into a new facility by Fall 2025, we need your help to keep our programs accessible, safe, and strong.
Kootenay Circus Arts Association (KCAA), the non-profit behind Discover Circus, serves more than 700 children, youth, and adults each year. Our inclusive, community-based programming offers more than just circus skills—it builds confidence, belonging, and joy.

Tiered Support
Kootenay Circus Arts Association recognizes the generosity of our community through a tiered support plan designed to honour donors while reflecting the practical realities of our new space. All recognition is cumulative and designed to be portable, inclusive, and meaningful.
In addition to supporting equipment and infrastructure, your contribution helps provide financial stability for our dedicated staff throughout this major transition. Moving an organization of our size requires time, care, and continuity—and your generosity helps ensure our team can remain focused, supported, and steady as we make this next big leap.
