JOIN THE POW CANADA TOWN HALLS

FREE EVENT SERIES

From deep winters to long summer days, the outdoors powers our communities. It drives our jobs, businesses, and local economy. But as climate change brings unpredictable snowfall, wildfires, floods, and landslides, what does that mean for mountain towns like ours?

After a successful spring event series, Protect Our Winters Canada is hosting town halls this fall in Collingwood and Banff to bring together local business owners, municipal leaders, athletes, scientists, and community members like you to discuss how we can build resilient communities in the name of clean air, water, and healthy ecosystems.

These free events will highlight key insights from POW Canada’s recently released Outdoor Recreation Economic Report, and explore the future of our outdoor economy.

Let’s gather together, share ideas, and take action.

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. 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, as 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.
