Last week at DIVERSEcity’s School’s Out Summer Camp, in partnership with United Way BC - Lower Mainland, our campers explored the theme of Service to Community — and a special visit from Delta Police Department brought that to life. Delta Police officers took time to talk about community safety, answer curious questions, and even let the kids explore a police car up close!The kids were so moved, they wrote heartfelt thank-you cards on their own — a beautiful example of the values we’re nurturing through camp.Thank you to United Way BC for helping create these moments for children in Delta this summer.Learn more about School’s Out here: www.dcrs.ca/our-services/youth-programs/child-and-youth-camps/#ForPeopleForCommunities #SurreyBC #DeltaBC #summer #kids #summercamp #camp ...

Earlier this month we took a field trip to A Rocha BC Centre! Participants enjoyed a hands-on, science-based experience with up-close encounters with wildlife, plants and local ecosystems. 🌱🥕🦫From learning about conservation to simply soaking up the beauty of BC’s natural environment, the day was both fun and informative. Children and adults alike left with new knowledge and a deeper appreciation for the place we call home. A big thank you to everyone who joined us — and to the folks at A Rocha for helping make this memorable outing possible.🌲 Photos by @madiijoyphotography#ForPeopleForCommunities #NatureLearning #BeautifulBC #EnvironmentalEducation #DIVERSEcity #BCNature #SurreyBC #Delta @arochacanada ...
