A land bursting with life, people and their stories in its wilderness. We hope you’ll join Benj Klassen, a 4th generation Islander as he shares stories, resources and conversations about the adventures to be had in this incredible place thousands have called home for generations.

Ep. 24 - Get Informed & Get Outdoors with Sandra Riches
AdventureSmart is a national program dedicated to encouraging Canadians and visitors to Canada to “get informed and go outdoors”. Through education programs, community outreach, special events and media, they help reduce the number and severity of search and rescue incidents in the country. Much of this is thanks to this weeks guest, Sandra Riches: Executive Director of BC AdventureSmart and her incredible team. They have just recently launched a series of educational videos to compliment their diverse outdoor education programs, which include our very own Juan de Fuca trail and Mt Albert Edward here on the Island. We’ll talk about what it took to build AdventureSmart from the ground up, safety/training resources for adventure seekers, Van Isle resources & connection points within their programs and much more. Be sure to check them out at www.AdventureSmart.ca or follow them online @bcadvsmart on FB, Twitter and Instagram.
