Frequently Asked Questions

PACE participants will get to visit multiple cities within the Lower Mainland Region of British Columbia. Past program activities have taken place within the City of Vancouver, City of Burnaby, City of Richmond, North Vancouver, City of Coquitlam, the Tri-Cities, Victoria (Vancouver Island), Squamish and Whistler.

Six participants from different countries will be selected. We usually seek an equal gender mix.

We request that participants are over the age of 19 at the time of travel (The age of majority in British Columbia). We do not have an upper age limit this year for PACE, however participants must be in good physical fitness, as PACE activities are quite rigorous. As well as being Rotaractors in good standing with their clubs.

The program is heavily financially sponsored and subsidized by Rotary and Rotaract Clubs of District 5040. Participants are required to pay a participant fee of $500 CAD, which will cover the costs of program accommodation, activities, transportation between cities, and three meals daily.

Participants are responsible for travel costs to and from Vancouver, personal items, alcohol, and travel health insurance.
