Langley, BC, Canada is surrounded by the Campbell Valley Regional Park and farmland. By car, it is about twenty minutes from Vancouver city centre and ten minutes from the Canadian/American border. British Columbia has vibrant forests, craggy mountain peaks, glacial lakes, and an expansive coastline making it an amazing area to explore for nature lovers. This means you can see a huge array of flora and fauna from whales to black bears!

Two days off are given per week, however not typically consecutive. Proximity to the National Park means hiking and exploring the wilderness is an option, along with relaxing at the rescue centre/swimming in the pool in the summer.
