Here are some tips that you can easily incorporate into your treat station to help make it a wonderful Halloween for all the trick-or-treaters who come by your home:

🎃 Make your treat station accessible and barrier-free
🎃 Stock up on alternate “treats”
🎃 Be aware of diverse behaviours and communication styles

We’ve made the difficult decision to temporarily close Camp Shawnigan for the 2026 season for start of construction of our redesigned facilities. This decision was not easy and made with the future needs of our entire community in mind - we know how important this camp is to all our campers, their families and their communities.

This project will allow us to build a modern, accessible, year-round facility that empowers us to pursue excellence in the way we deliver programs and care at Camp Shawnigan. We're excited for the future of Camp Shawnigan and what it means for all our campers.

We had a great time at the Lions District I Convention in Penticton last weekend! Our booth was buzzing with visitors and support for BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities and Easter Seals BC/Yukon. Lions members also took part in a fundraising walk organized by Lion Bob Elliot and the Lions Ambassador Committee, raising an incredible $8,610 for Camperships—including a generous $7,500 donation from the Chase Lions Club!

Thank you to Hi-Pro Branded Solutions in Vernon for donating our I ❤️ Camp shirts and for an additional $1,000 donated by the Penticton Lions Club!

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, supported our work, and continues to champion Easter Seals programs across BC & Yukon. 🦁

🧡 Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. We recognize the lasting impacts of residential schools and the importance of listening, learning, and taking meaningful action toward reconciliation.

Our summer camps and Easter Seals House are situated on the traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish people, including the Squamish, Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, Malahat, Quw'utsun, and WSANEC Nations, as well as the Syilx Okanagan Nation.

We are grateful to live, work, and be in relation with people from across many territories throughout British Columbia and the Yukon. We are committed to reconciliation, decolonization, and building relationships in our communities, places of work, and schools.
