Welcome back to school, educators! We waited until the VERY last minute (optimistic until the end) to decide that a fall 2021 in-person BC Field Trip Fair will not go ahead. We had hoped that our community situation would make it safe and fun for us to come together again, but right now is not that time.

What we WILL do:
Our exhibitors have shown us over the last year that there are many great ways to connect and make learning better for kids, even in these new circumstances. We will continue to connect with you this year through our website and newsletter - sharing teacher experiences using currently available field trip offerings, profiling different types of field trips and as always, sharing bursaries with teachers to make field trips possible. This year our goal will be to share their successes and continue to provide financial support to as many teachers as possible to help 'take learning on the road'. If you want to be notified about bursary draws, you can join our newsletter and share it with your colleagues.

Thanks for sticking with us through these changes. We miss you all and look forward to reconnecting in person.
