The A Rocha BC Centre (previously the “Brooksdale Environmental Centre”) is a place of transformation. The flagship project of A Rocha Canada, it is one of the most dynamic Christian environmental centres in North America. This 27-acre property is a living lab comprised of forests, a threatened river system, organic gardens, and heritage houses. The unique combination of sensitive wildlife habitat and agricultural land makes the A Rocha BC Centre more than a showpiece, but a place where critical environmental issues are researched, addressed, and solved. In addition to running a guest house for overnight retreats, we welcome Tatalu Conservation Residents and volunteers to join in our work.

At A Rocha Canada, we envision a world where communities flourish alongside nature. For over 20 years, our BC Environmental Centre in Surrey, BC, has inspired thousands to care deeply about the earth and others through practical immersion experiences in nature for people of all ages. Whether its growing food, studying threatened species, planting trees or attending a retreat or workshop; when people are equipped to steward the earth and work together both people and places are transformed.
