Dear Valued Community of Power To Be,

Power To Be understands that we all need to work together to continue to limit transmission of COVID 19, protect those living with health considerations, and prevent community transmission.

In compliance with British Columbia’s Health Authority guidelines, Power To Be has developed a phased approach to in-person nature-based programs. As time unfolds, we will remain nimble and align our offerings with shifting public health orders. With safety at the forefront, we are looking forward to adventuring with our community both in-person and virtually in 2022. Here is an update on what you can expect in our two regions.

What to Expect in Vancouver

Open Adventure

Intake for Inclusive Adventure Participants is now open! To register for one of our virtual information sessions, and to learn about the next steps, please reach out to vancouverprograms@powertobe.ca.

Community Groups

We currently have a waitlist for Community Group involvement. We will be reassessing capacity for new intakes of Community Groups in 2023 but do not anticipate any movement for the next year. If you are a Community Group that would like to be added to the waitlist, or if you have any questions, please reach out to vancouvercommunityprograms@powertobe.ca.

What to Expect in Victoria

The first step to getting involved is to attend an Information Session, which we host 3 times each year. If you would like to attend a virtual information session or have any questions, please reach out to victoriaprograms@powertobe.ca.

Wilderness School

Wilderness School is accepting interest forms for grade 7 students entering grade 8 in September 2023. Students must reside in the catchment areas of SD 61, 62 or 63. Please complete the Wilderness School intake interest form and we will contact you once intake opens in May 2023. If you have any questions about the Wilderness School program please reach out to us at wsprograms@powertobe.ca and we will be happy to help.

Family Roots

We will be offering intake for our Family Roots program in 2022. If you have any questions about the program or eligibility, please reach out to Sylvia Storry at sstorry@powertobe.ca.

We look forward to connecting as we redesign our program offerings. Whether by virtual means or in person, our community thrives because of all of you and we are so thankful to be looking into a future that connects us back to the core of who we are.

Sincerely,

The Power To Be Program Team
