RETREAT CENTRE STATUS

The Sea to Sky Retreat Centre (SSRC) is flourishing! 

      Financial Self-Sufficiency

• SSRC’s operation is financially self-sufficient and has been for many years.
• Annual operating revenue has consistently exceeded annual operating expense. Nonetheless, retreat rates are far lower at SSRC than other comparable facilities
• Annual audited financial statements document the financial well-being of SSRC.

     Volunteer Support

• In the past 20 years, there has never been a shortage of volunteers.   No retreat program has been cancelled during the past 2 decades due to a lack of SSRC staff.
• For its 30+ years of operation, SSRC has operated successfully with different teams and different leaders.
• An active program of visiting volunteers complements the long-term focus of the resident volunteers.

     Charitable Mission Fulfillment

• The experience of those participating in retreats at SSRC has been consistently and overwhelmingly positive.
• In addition to supporting long-time Buddhist practitioners, SSRC continues to be a gateway for new Buddhists and a natural magnet for young people.
• The SSRC Annual Event Calendar is filled well in advance with retreat programs and provides objective evidence for anyone to see of the fulfillment of SI Canada’s mission
