Our Prospect Lake Site

Power To Be partnered with the Steele family in March 2016 on a long-term lease of the former Prospect Lake Golf Course. With lake access, open natural spaces and forested trails to explore, the site is an inclusive hub for programs, helping us expand our program offerings.

The move allowed us to consolidate gear and programs in one location. Programs hosted onsite include kayaking, hiking, canoeing, and other activities for youth and families living with a physical, mental, social or financial barrier. The site also acts as a staging area for programs that bring participants to natural spaces throughout Vancouver Island and the Vancouver area.

Learn more about the partnerships and programs helping make our Prospect Lake site a home for Power To Be.

HeroWork selects Power To Be as 2017 partner

Find out more about a partnership between two non-profits to revitalize Power To Be's program space on Prospect Lake.

Transitioning a former golf course into an inclusive and accessible recreation hub comes with a lot of work. Proving the power of working together, HeroWork, a Victoria-based non-profit organization, selected us as its 2017 partner for a series of Radical Renovations. With the help of this amazing organization, we will be able to address accessibility needs around waterfront access, trail system and outdoor program spaces. Check out their website to learn more about these projects.

If you would like to connect with Power To Be, contact us at our Victoria or Vancouver offices. Our Prospect Lake site is not open to the public or drop-in visitors at this time.

“A place to call home will strengthen our ability to offer programs throughout the natural spaces that surround us in B.C.”
