Camp Suzuki: Howe Sound on Gambier Island, B.C.
Camp Suzuki: Howe Sound takes place at Fircom, a 120-acre oceanfront camp on Gambier Island and dedicated to sustainability, outdoor recreation and place-based learning.
The camp — which plans to operate on 100 per cent renewable energy by 2020 — has a 15-kilowatt photovoltaic electrical power system and will soon have a micro-hydro system. Fircom serves an 80 per cent vegetarian menu with ingredients from the Fircom farm just 30 metres from the kitchen.
