Room Rental

Our in-park and in-school programs reach more than 20,000 children in the Lower Mainland each year, while programs at the Stanley Park Nature House at Lost Lagoon service another 20,000 public visitors annually.  As a park partner for over 20 years, our conservation programs ensure wildlife monitoring and habitat restoration, as we advise and act for long-term ecological management of Canada’s foremost urban wilderness.  Proceeds from meeting room rentals support our diverse programs.
