CBEEN Growing Wild on Earth Day!
After succeeding in reaching its $25,000.00 fundraising target, CBEEN is excited to announce it is launching it's Wild Voices for Kids program on
April 22 - Earth Day! CBEEN would like to recognize all of the funders that came on board, including major donors
Canadian Pacific and the
Regional District of East Kootenay.
CBEEN currently offers
133 different programs by
79 community educators. Field trips include snowshoeing, avalanche safety training, pond explorations and opportunities to see Kokanee Salmon spawning. In-class presentations cover a wide range of natural and cultural heritage topics. Last year over 10,000 students took part in 441 presentations and field trips across the 6 school districts in the Columbia Basin. So far this year 4,700 students have been able to take part.

After two major federal funding sources dried up in 2012, CBEEN has been looking for more local and regional support for its popular programs. CBEEN has the goal of being able to offer at least one presentation to every student in the Columbia Basin region every year (~
20,000 students in total!). CBEEN will continue its fundraising efforts to allow it to continue to expand the number of programs it offers.
On average it only costs
$10/student for CBEEN to offer a Wild Voices for Kids program. CBEEN is hosting two
wine & cheese events in the East Kootenay this Spring to offer prospective funders the opportunity to have an up close and personal look at CBEEN. For more information please contact Whittick at

charitable donations can be made at
