Roles and Responsibilities of Working Boards

The BCSF has arranged a custom workshop focussed at snowmobile clubs and our challenges. They are going to provide focussed information on volunteer Boards and how they should operate. It will be largely focussed on working Boards that do not have staff to complete the work.
The Vantage Point is a nationally recognized facilitator of dynamic workshops and its mission it is to transform not-for-profit organizations by convening, connecting, and equipping leaders to lift organizational capacity. Every client leaves their programs with resources to excel in their role and grow the impact of their club.

The Easter Seals Camp is located in Lake Country (Winfield) BC. The rooms and camping spots are provided free of charge to people attending the Club Congress! This is made possible thanks to the Easter Seals who provide us the use of the entire camp for the weekend for free. We hope this will also encourage you to bring multiple people from your club to Congress because you don't have to pay for hotel rooms!
The accommodations at the camp are not deluxe but each room has two single beds in it. You will not have to share your room with anyone unless you choose to. Bathrooms are shared amongst the block of rooms and include hot showers. You will have to bring your own bedding and towels for the weekend.
Camping is dry camping with no power or water hookups.

If staying in camp is not your style there is a Super 8 in Lake Country just down the hill from camp.
