Hello Canreefers,
Well it has already leaked out but this is the official announcement for REEFBC.
Although still in its infancy, I have many exciting plans for the future of REEFBC.
Our first forum is November 19th.
With REEFBC, we will support the reef community and do our part to help further our reef community as a whole. Obvious themes of propagation, improved husbandry, organism identification, System design, and species care will be covered.
In addition, REEFBC also intends to bring awareness to various environmental reef issues and organizations that are key to the survival and future of our hobby.
REEFBC is a non profit organization. Proceeds from all events will be put towards future event costs and/or donated to various Reef related environmental/conservation causes.
Please support these events. The success and continuance of these events relies upon you. The more people that attend and support these events the bigger and better they will become. Sponsor donations and sometimes Speaker participation are based on attendance and participation.
A HUGE thank you to the volunteers and sponsors that have supported this event. If you would like to volunteer for this, or another future event. Please send your contact information to:
james@reefbc.com
As this is the first event, we apologize in advance for any mistakes that may occur. It is our intent to make each event bigger and better than the previous.
