Why This Matters
Our mountain towns thrive on a strong and stable outdoor economy. From winter tourism to summer recreation, our communities depend on reliable seasons, healthy landscapes, and a predictable climate. But as winters shorten, snowfall becomes unpredictable, and wildfires, floods, and landslides intensify, the future of these economies is at risk.
The Outdoor Recreation Economy generates $102 billion annually and supports one million jobs across Canada, including many in Whistler, Revelstoke, Fernie, and Nelson. The impact of climate change is no longer a distant threat; it’s already being felt in our businesses, resorts, and local communities.
So what can we do about it?
The POW Canada Town Halls are a chance to come together, athletes, business leaders, policymakers, and passionate outdoor enthusiasts, to discuss the challenges we face and explore solutions that will strengthen our communities and economy.
This isn’t just about winter. It’s about protecting the places we love, the industries we rely on, and the future we want to build together.
