Plans are in motion to host an ATS in Vancouver, BC October 20 - 24, 2025. Our Planning Committee Chaired by CPCA - BC Region Director Bill Ashbee has been working diligently alongside our CPCA Liaison John Siderius to develop and organize an ATS to remember in beautiful downtown Vancouver. The Beatty St. Armory is the host location. An affordable hotel is in the works. The theme of our 2025 ATS is "Better Together" and will be a venue for some amazing presenters covering topics that will equip and challenge our law enforcement chaplains. More details will follow and become available on this webpage in months to come.
