She recognized the value of learning and teaching, especially to children. Her family thought that adopting our Desi, a Norwegian Fjord, a teacher in his own right, would be a great way to honour Elma's memory.Our horses mean the world to us, they are kind, gentle teachers to our riders. We are so thankful for the generosity of Elma's family and can rest easy knowing Desi will be taken care of through their kind gesture. We are very grateful.The Powell River Therapeutic Riding Associationfeature riderMy name is Darlene, I am 58 years old and have Cerebral Palsy.

The Powell River Council for Arts, Culture and Heritage, known simply as the Arts' Council, is a registered society in British Columbia with a mission to enhance the quality of life and creative vitality of the people who live in the Powell River region.
We have made special arrangements to enhance camaraderie with individual attention, instructor demonstrations, painting en plein air and picnic lunches. Instructor and students dine together to make the most out of this great island experience. The local hospitality will surely make this a memorable workshop. Special access to a private golf course along the waters edge and time to relax on the beach, clothing optional. There is something special about an island. Leave your cares on the mainland and just concentrate on the 'art spirit'.Testimonials: Kevin is a fantastic teacher and creates great examples and demonstrations for his students to understand the information he is presenting while making the experience a lot of fun. Wanda and Kevin are a fantastic team and thank you for organizing the workshop and group so well.
