About Us
We are a growing team of researchers, educators, communicators, and policy and issue experts – plus a powerful network of community members, donors and activists, committed to engaging with the community to protect Whistler’s natural environment and drive sustainable change to build a resilient future for Whistler.
How We Got Here
We got our start in 1989, driven by a small group of determined locals with a simple vision: bring recycling to Whistler. As the town saw rapid growth and fragile ecosystems were being destroyed, we asked, “Do people truly understand the impact of their actions?” See how we’ve been shaping Whistler’s future ever since.
Collaborative Change
Fostering partnerships and promoting volunteer involvement, AWARE is driving environmental change by raising awareness within the community, delivering bold, evidence-based solutions and empowering action.
