Zajac Ranch appears on acclaimed TV series tonight

Zajac Ranch will be featured in an upcoming episode of an acclaimed television series.

The ranch, found near the border of Maple Ridge and Mission, will appear on AMI’s “Our Community” tonight (Thursday, Nov. 13) at 6:30 p.m. PST on AMI-tv and AMI+, AMI’s free streaming service.

“We’re so excited to share the magic of Zajac Ranch with audiences across Canada,” Zajac Ranch president Carmen Zajac said.

“This episode beautifully captures the spirit of camp — where individuals of all abilities can connect, grow, and thrive together.”

According to the the Zajac foundation, the feature is part of the show’s 10th season that spotlights people, places, and organizations that make life more enjoyable for Canadians living with disabilities.

The episode will highlight camper and staff experiences during a young adult camp from August 2025.

Zajac Ranch is encouraging area residents to tune in for the episode.

“During filming, AMI’s production team captured inspiring stories from several campers, as well as interviews with staff members Rene Bellefeville, Bella Brady, and Mackenzie Widdows, showcasing the powerful sense of community and inclusion that defines the Ranch,” said Zajac.

Zajac Ranch is a fully accessible and inclusive summer camp that opened in 2004 on the site of a former men’s prison that’s located on the shores of Stave Lake. For more information about the ranch, people can visit www.zajacranch.com.
