Ghost River Rediscovery - Training & Community Development

When Ghost River Rediscovery Society started in 1994, most of our work was with youth. While this remains our main focus, many communities over the years have approached us for support in developing their own programs. We do our best to support this where possible. We also deliver a wide range of customized training, facilitation, and consultation services.
