We spent (almost) 2 days in Canmore with our ambassadors digging into our strategy, wildfires, renewable energy, & how to tell better climate stories.
So grateful for this group, the work hits different when we’re together. Thanks to all our speakers & our partners for helping bring this to life.

We’ve climbed a lot of mountains together… metaphorically speaking. As a small remote team scattered across 🇨🇦, meeting IRL is a rare sight.
Last week in Banff, we got together, touched some trees, reviewed the year, and planned the final push to 2026.
Feeling pretty stoked about what’s ahead.

Canada has already lost 7M+ hectares to fire this summer, like burning every Rocky Mountain national park twice. The problem isn’t evidence, it’s fear of solutions. But solutions are how we keep our air clean, summers enjoyable & wild places intact. Help us tell MPs: it’s time to act.

Canada’s air quality is trending… and not in a good way
Last weekend, we had some of the worst air quality in the world for the second time this summer. This isn’t just wildfire season, it’s a smoke signal. Our health and wild places are at risk.

And speaking of myths and conspiracy theories...
Most climate denial falls into one of five general categories:
It’s not real
It’s not us
It’s not bad
We can’t fix it
It’s too late
Conspiracy theories about secret experiments have been around for decades and they fall solidly into category 2 above: “it’s not us, it’s THEM”
