& Training
At Power To Be, inclusion isn’t just something we practice - it’s something we actively promote. We believe that creating accessible and inclusive spaces is a responsibility we all share, and we’re proud to be part of a growing movement that’s reshaping the outdoor industry for the better.
Our recent accreditation with the BC Camps Association and our work with partners like Parks Canada, BC Parks Foundation, BC Parks, Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, and the CRD have solidified Power To Be as a trusted resource for accessibility and inclusion. Through our workshops and training opportunities, we’re not only sharing our knowledge - we’re helping to spark meaningful change across Canada and beyond.
In 2024, we delivered ten unique workshops with Canada-wide reach. These sessions have supported and advised key industry leaders with extensive impact, ensuring accessibility and inclusion are built into the structure and culture of our shared environments.
