BIG news coming from the Squamish Nation today!

BIG news coming from the Squamish Nation today!

This brings hope for the future of old-growth forests of the Sea to Sky and the land now known as Whistler.

AWARE has been one of the many voices pushing for greater protection of old-growth for close to 30 years. After presenting at the Old Growth Review Panel and engaging heavily with Whistler’s local Cheakamus Community Forest - this feels like a tipping point many hoped would come.

Thank you @squamishnation

Wow! What a week! Thanks to everyone who rode thei

Wow! What a week! Thanks to everyone who rode their bike, played bingo, took pictures, and smiled all week long! We loved hearing about your adventures and sharing in your stoke 🚲

The weather came through for us here in Whistler (but we did still have some rain so people could finish their bingo cards) and we saw so many people out getting creative and having fun on their bikes!

Don't forget to backlog any rides you took during the week at https://gobybikebc.ca/whistler/ (and if you logged via Strava, there is a backlog so just be patient). And keep sending in those completed bingo cards!

We'll be drawing prizes next Monday (to make sure all Strava rides have come through) and we'll be in touch with our lucky winners

Happy pedaling and don't forget to #GoByBike all year long!

What an inspiring weekend. We had over 100 people at the rally in Whistler, not to mention the other events in Squamish, Mt Curry, and around the province. Thanks for coming out and showing your support for Fairy Creek and the defense of the Old Growth Forests!

Learn more about Old Growth Forests and the situation we are currently facing in Whistler and BC at https://www.awarewhistler.org/oldforest/

It's time for our leaders to listen and to act to protect this critical BC ecosystem.

Stoked to see so many Whistler businesses, organizations and clubs signing up to #gobybike next week!

If you haven’t yet registered, now is the perfect time to get your coworkers or your friends together to form a team for #springgobybikeweek

Teams don’t have to ride together, but it can be great motivation to get out on two wheels when your pals are holding you accountable. Plus, you get to show off how your workplace/class/house/crew is helping Whistler achieve its climate goals and stay active and healthy!
