Youth workshops are offered in select locations throughout the Lower Mainland, South Vancouver Island and the South Okanagan on Pro-D Days and weekends. These workshops range from 1 to 3 days and are held September through April.
Participants are immersed in animal-themed activities and are challenged, in fun and engaging ways, to learn about responsible animal care, animal facts and to develop positive, respectful relationships between people, animals and nature. They leave feeling inspired to be ambassadors for animals in their community.
The activities range from active games to quiet hands-on projects and include crafts, guest speakers and time with animals. All of our activities have been designed by the BC SPCA to incorporate positive animal welfare themes.
