Due to a funding shortfall, Blueprint is raising money to support our Resiliency Program for British Columbia’s first responders, or 'Loon Lake', with support from the BC Police Association (BCPA) and BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Association (BCPFFA).

Three organizations committed to the health and well-being of BC's first responders have signed an agreement to continue the delivery of resiliency training for the next three years.
