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
