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 ...

Today is World Drowning Prevention Day, an opportunity to pause and consider our part in water safety. Whether you’re boating, swimming or spending time by the water relaxing —accidents can happen in seconds. Drowning often doesn’t look like an emergency; it’s silent and fast but preventable with the right knowledge and proactive precautions. Here are some ways you can stay water safe: 🏊 Always swim with friends and keep an eye on each other 🛥️ Wear a lifejacket when boating or out on open water 🚼 Supervise children closely; accidents happen quickly 🚫 Avoid alcohol or substances when swimming or boating Every swim, every afternoon spent by the water is a chance to create memories with the people we love. Let’s look out for one another by staying present and helping each other stay safe. #ForPeopleForCommunities #NDPW2025 #SwimSafeBC #NewcomerSafety #DIVERSEcity #SurreyBC #Delta ... See MoreSee Less
