Protect Whistler’s Wild Spaces

Help us raise $10,000 in donations to support AWARE’s vital campaigns and initiatives dedicated to preserving the environment we all love.

Whistler’s wild spaces are more than just breathtaking views—they are the heart of our community. These forests, mountains, and lakes are vital habitats for wildlife. They are essential to our well-being. They provide the fresh air we breathe, the clean water that sustains us, and the outdoor spaces where we find connection to the natural world. But they are fragile. As the pressures of climate change and increased human activity continue to grow, we must take action now. Both to protect these irreplaceable places and collectively build a sustainable and climate resilient community. 

This is where AWARE comes in.

AWARE has been the steward and voice for the environment in Whistler for over 30 years. Our mission is to protect Whistler’s natural environment through advocacy on conservation, climate action and circular economy practices, while empowering others to join in these efforts.

But we cannot do it alone. 

Our success depends on the generosity of donors like you. Your contributions enable AWARE to mobilize campaigns and launch education initiatives, ensuring lasting, positive change for our community. Campaigns and initiatives like;

  • Zero Waste – In 2024, AWARE collected 5,026 kg of waste and diverted more than 4,000 kg from landfills. 
  • GROW Community Gardens – This summer, AWARE supported nearly 300 local residents in growing over 5,200 kg of food and reducing greenhouse gas emissions related to food miles. 
  • Active Transport – GoByBike weeks in 2024 attracted 632 riders, logging 21,393 km and saving 4,638 kg of GHG emissions.
  • Circular Economy – In 2024, AWARE hosted two Clothing Swaps, diverting nearly 1,000 kg of clothing from landfill.

The future of Whistler’s wild spaces depends on the collective action of everyone who values the environment we call home. Donate today so we can ensure that these landscapes remain pristine for generations to come.
