Time to get out the door and help raise funds for POW Canada

Join POW Canada and communities across the country from August 30 to September 7

Every hour you spend outside and log during the challenge generates a $10 donation to Protect Our Winters Canada, thanks to our new partners HOOKÉ and SAIL

Whether you're hiking, biking, paddling, running, fishing, climbing, or simply walking the dog, every minute counts.

THE GOAL

Together, we're aiming to reach 84,000 minutes (1,400 hours) outdoors and raise up to $14,000 for Protect Our Winters Canada. 

Get outside. Log your time. Help protect the places we love.

HOW IT WORKS
