  • Further phases of development such as a shrine for Our Blessed Mother and a Residence Building for those working at the Centre
  • Hospitality training and mentoring for trainees
  • Reducing the building debt
  • Expanding and promoting youth programs

Our current goal of $3M will allow us to carry out our mission of positively transforming society by facilitating personal growth and spiritual development, creating new perspectives in living daily life and developing leaders capable of inspiring and serving others.

Our Classroom: Focus of the 2025 Fundraising Campaign

CRCC Classroom

At the heart of Copper Ridge Conference Centre is a classroom that seats 30—an essential space where lives are shaped and futures are formed. St. Josemaría often spoke of formation—the lifelong process of growing as a whole person in character, faith, and service. This vision continues at CRCC, where each generation finds the tools and support to grow.

As we conclude our three-year Secure the Future campaign, we invite you to help us raise $550,000 in support of this classroom. Every gift brings us closer to completing this vital project. Donors will be recognized in a special Donor Appreciation photo book, to be kept in the CRCC Living Room as a lasting expression of gratitude.

History of the Area

In 1859 Captain G.H. Richards dubbed the mountains on the eastern shore of Howe Sound the Britannia Range in honour of the Royal Navy’s HMS Britannia. In 1888 copper was discovered in the mountains. In 1900 a mine was established and the town of Britannia Beach was founded to provide shelter to this hard working community.

Our Inspiration

Saint Josemaria Escriva

God waits for us every day in the immense panorama of work. Understand this well: there is something holy, something divine, hidden in the most ordinary situations and it is up to each one of you to discover it.

Either we learn to find our Lord in ordinary, everyday life, or else we will never find him.

— Saint Josemaria Escriva, Founder of Opus Dei
Passionately Loving the World

Britannia Beach, British Columbia
