We’re Back—in Person!
Beginning April 1, 2022, we will be delivering our Toolbox training the best way we know how—in person. For those stewards living within the Greater Vancouver Region (i.e., North Vancouver, Vancouver, Richmond, Langley, Surrey, Chilliwack, Burnaby, etc.), all courses will be live and hosted at the BC Training Centre in Langley.
Stewards living outside of the Greater Vancouver Region can join our classes remotely via Zoom. You can also contact the training centre to arrange accommodations near the centre.
