Field Trips
Farm to School BC will be hosting 3 individual field trips on Wednesday May 17th, 2023 as part of our goal to highlight and celebrate the work of local food organizations. These field trips will showcase outstanding initiatives across greater Vancouver and Squamish areas and will provide a fantastic opportunity for hands-on learning and engagement. These field trips are an optional add-on to the conference and registration is based on a first come, first-serve basis.
Each fieldtrip will cost $75/person plus GST and will include multiple location visits, a lunch, and transportation via chartered school buses in the ticket cost. Each fieldtrip will take between 5-7 hours to complete, with buses leaving in the morning between 8:00-10:00 am from within the Metro Vancouver Area, and returning to the same location for drop off that afternoon between 3:00-5:00 pm. Exact details on timing and locations will be released by early March.
Each field trip requires a minimum number of attendees. In the event that a trip does not meet the minimum requirement, it will be cancelled. Registrants of a cancelled trip will be notified by May 10, 2023 and given the option to receive a refund or to attend their second choice trip. Please register early to avoid disappointment!
