The holiday season is coming up quick! And with visions of sugar plums and powder days dancing in our heads, we know the season’s culture of consumerism can present some questions for the eco-conscious.

So if you’re thinking of getting a gift that’s a little less material for someone on your list, consider giving the Gift of POW — a donation to help protect the outdoor places we love, and fight for a liveable future for all Canadians.

Your donation will go directly to supporting POW Canada’s environmental advocacy efforts, such as:

• Demanding Canada fulfill it’s national and international climate commitments, including protecting 30% of Canada’s nature by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050
  
  
• Fighting for the protection and conservation of public lands across Canada (such as the Ontario Greenbelt and BC’s Old-Growth forests)
  
  
• Lobbying for increased low-emissions transit and accessibility options between cities, rural areas and outdoor recreation spaces
  
  
• Building a clean electricity grid across Canada, by investing in local renewable energy

And this year, your gift will go even further, as our friends at Arc’teryx and MEC will EACH match donations up to $25,000. That’s up to $50,000 total from these partners. Full send.

So this Giving Tuesday or holiday season, #GiveTheGiftofPOW
