SUMMARY:Salish Sea beach walk with Talaysay Tours
DESCRIPTION:This field trip is a unique opportunity to experience the wonder of traditional ecological knowledge\, interpreted through the beautiful beach at Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver. 🦀🐚 🐟\n\nOur first field trip in with Talaysay Tours was deeply meaningful for all of the participants\, so we are pleased to offer another tour\, this time in a different location.\n\nTalaysay Tours is recognized as one of the leading Indigenous tour groups in BC\, and their tours offer deep insights into history\, culture\, geography and biology. On this nature walking tour we will hear the stories of how shíshálh (Sechelt) & Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) People have been using the ocean and the land for food\, medicine and technology for thousands of years.\n\nTo ensure that students get the most out of this experience\, we will be capping this field trip at 20 participants\, so space is very limited. We are asking that all students be in grade 6-12\, and be prepared to show the utmost respect for our guide and for the land. Please note that students do NOT need to be enrolled with TLA\, so siblings and friends are welcome.\n\nDate: Friday February 20th\, 2026\nTime: 9:45-11:30am\nWhere: Whytecliff Park  (Whytecliff Park\, 7102 Marine Dr\, West Vancouver)\nCost: $50 per student\, $70 per adult (can be taken from the student’s Hub budget\, or parents can by via credit card)\nContact Person: Daniel Perrett\, dperrett@schoolathome.ca\, 778-957-5097  \nPlease bring:\n-Comfortable walking shoes\, or rain boots depending on the weather\n-A pair of warm gloves\n-A toque\n-A rain jacket\n-A water bottle and a snack\n-A journal and a pencil to take notes\n\nPlease note that this field trip will primarily be focused on traditional ecological knowledge\, but it may also explain some of the cultural and spiritual practices of the Squamish people. This can be a starting point for further discussions about these ideas at home.\n\nExpect fresh air and a sense of wonder! \n\nSign-up deadline: February 3rd\, 2026

SUMMARY:Skiing & Boarding at Murray Ridge
DESCRIPTION:DEADLINE FOR SIGN UP: Wednesday Jan 7\, 2025 (for January 16th date) and Wednesday Jan 28\, 2025 (for Feb 6th date). \n\nAs in previous years\, the School Program is only for Grade 3 and up.  In the past I covered the K-2 lessons myself\, but I injured myself over the Christmas holidays\, and am not sure if I’ll be able to help much with the younger group this year. If you have K-2 students interested\, please use this link to sign up students younger than grade 3\, and adult participants.   https://forms.gle/QtdJ3yVLdCAvR2PRA I will get in touch directly with you if I can come up with a plan. \nFor Grade 3 and up\, there are not many changes from previous years.  Just please fill out one form per student. \nLessons are included with the school package.  The specific times are only posted on the morning of\, but the earliest ones start at 10am.  Please try to be at the hill between 9:30 and 10:00.  \nPAYMENT: In terms of payment\, please pay me at the hill\, and I will pay the ski hill in one chunk.  They prefer it that way.  If you are with TLA and wish to use your grant\, please connect with your teacher and make sure the amount is on your SLP.  I will then pay with the school credit card. \nIf you wish to pay with grant money from a different school\, the only realistic option is if you have a credit card and can pay directly.  Please only do this once you’ve let me know at the hill\, otherwise I may end up paying twice – and then it’s not quite as good a deal!! \nMEAL OPTIONS:  We have the option of getting a student meal.  The cost is $10 and the options are listed below. \n\nPARENTS AND SUPERVISORS:  We get a certain number of passes depending on the number of students who sign up.  I’ll do my best to spread these around so that every adult pass is a little cheaper.  Murray Ridge doesn’t offer and deals on rentals for supervisors.  As mentioned above\, use this form to sign up.

SUMMARY:Skiing & Boarding at Murray Ridge
DESCRIPTION:DEADLINE FOR SIGN UP: Wednesday Jan 7\, 2025 (for January 16th date) and Wednesday Jan 28\, 2025 (for Feb 6th date). \n\nAs in previous years\, the School Program is only for Grade 3 and up.  In the past I covered the K-2 lessons myself\, but I injured myself over the Christmas holidays\, and am not sure if I’ll be able to help much with the younger group this year. If you have K-2 students interested\, please use this link to sign up students younger than grade 3\, and adult participants.   https://forms.gle/QtdJ3yVLdCAvR2PRA I will get in touch directly with you if I can come up with a plan. \nFor Grade 3 and up\, there are not many changes from previous years.  Just please fill out one form per student. \nLessons are included with the school package.  The specific times are only posted on the morning of\, but the earliest ones start at 10am.  Please try to be at the hill between 9:30 and 10:00.  \nPAYMENT: In terms of payment\, please pay me at the hill\, and I will pay the ski hill in one chunk.  They prefer it that way.  If you are with TLA and wish to use your grant\, please connect with your teacher and make sure the amount is on your SLP.  I will then pay with the school credit card. \nIf you wish to pay with grant money from a different school\, the only realistic option is if you have a credit card and can pay directly.  Please only do this once you’ve let me know at the hill\, otherwise I may end up paying twice – and then it’s not quite as good a deal!! \nMEAL OPTIONS:  We have the option of getting a student meal.  The cost is $10 and the options are listed below. \n\nPARENTS AND SUPERVISORS:  We get a certain number of passes depending on the number of students who sign up.  I’ll do my best to spread these around so that every adult pass is a little cheaper.  Murray Ridge doesn’t offer and deals on rentals for supervisors.  As mentioned above\, use this form to sign up.
