In a word, no. The team had a good run of it, and has a lasting legacy in the ever-growing population of VEX teams here in BC, but retirements and new job opportunities have led to an 80%+ turnover in the tech studies teaching staff over the past three years.

I have to add that the funding and staffing policies that the BC government has directed towards K-12 education over the past decade or so have not helped teachers to have the free time, resources, or energy to undertake major projects.

The cool part is that while 1346 won't be back, we carefully stored away some significant resources to aid any new BC teams. So maybe a little bit of 1346 will make it's way out to Calgary one day, if only in spirit.
