Protect Our Winters Canada (2023)

Protect Our Winters Canada works to educate young people and adults about climate change through snow sports and outdoor recreation. The organization uses skiing, snowboarding, and winter activities as a platform to engage people in understanding environmental issues, particularly how warming temperatures threaten winter ecosystems and the ski industry across Canada. Based in Toronto, the charity reaches participants across the GTA and beyond through school programs, community events, and partnerships with resorts and outdoor centers. By connecting people's love of winter sports to climate science, Protect Our Winters Canada builds a community of informed advocates who understand the urgency of reducing emissions and protecting the winters that define Canadian culture and identity.
