Hear from some of our fantastic supporters and why they choose to support our cause!

After a lifetime of dealing with conservation issues in Alberta, I’m unfortunately too familiar with the taste of defeat. That’s what makes me so impressed by CPAWS Southern Alberta. Over the past several years I’ve seen them rack up one impressive win after another on parks, coal mining and other issues.  
 
They are unquestionably the most effective conservation advocacy organization in Alberta right now and, for me, a rare source of inspiration and hope for the future.

"We are passionate about getting people outdoors to enjoy our pristine wilderness and to keep it, well pristine. For us, that means getting people off the resort chairlifts and into backcountry skiing and getting them off the paved paths in the cities and onto mountain trails. As a business, being responsible for the resources under our care is important to us. Not only as a business but as people who enjoy the wilderness. CPAWS is aligned with our personal values of doing as little harm as possible, being stewards of the resources provided to us, and leaving the world better than we found it. From choosing no VOC paint, to recycling and repurposing shoes for a discount off a new pair, to choosing 100% green energy, it’s these things that matter deeply to preserving and protecting our natural places. We love CPAWS and the work that they do and are proud to have them as our 1% for the Planet charity, donating 1% of our revenue to them. We’ll see you on the trails! #wearetrailrunning #runuphill.ca”
