Make your meeting memorable with mother nature

Educational Sessions & private group activities from The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver into Stanley Park.

For a fresh take on traditional conventions and meetings, put nature on the agenda. The Westin Bayshore, Vancouver partners with Nature’s Boardroom & Nature’s Playground to help make that possible.

The Westin Bayshore is just steps away from 300 hectares of forest.

Leave attendees talking about more than just the keynote speaker. Offer a journey through Stanley Park for a 1–2-hour walking meeting on forest trails. Nature’s Boardroom facilitators use forest ecology as an analogy for creating more productive and resilient workplaces. It’s wellness, upskilling, team bonding, and strategic planning in one cohesive experience.
