British Columbia
Where coastlines meet ancient forests
No matter the season, the wilderness in B.C. will take your breath away. Summer hiking trails wind through vast wildflower meadows and dense, ancient old-growth forests, while killer whales breach the gentle waves of the Puget sound. Grizzly bears wander through valleys and rivers in search of resilient salmon, journeying upstream to spawn. Millions of shorebirds sweep along the coastline every autumn and spring. And year-round, old-growth forests shelter at-risk species like southern mountain caribou and spotted owls.
Almost all of B.C. is unceded First Nations territory. Right now, only 15 per cent of land in B.C. is protected, with more than 1,900 wildlife species on the brink of extinction. That’s why we work alongside grassroots activists and First Nations communities to protect the future of these iconic wonders. In B.C., volunteers help restore trails, allies join us on the streets opposing fossil fuel expansion, and our team pushes for tougher laws that shield nature from harmful industry and protect it for good.

One Crisis
Whether you’re buying eggs and groceries or paying your rent, for the vast majority of us the cost of living is hard to ignore. In the last federal election, pollsters and politicians trumpeted the message that the cost of living is the single most important issue facing voters. They had numbers to back it up: one poll highlighted that nearly three-quarters of people in Canada had cost of living as their top issue heading into the federal election.
However, this framing forcefully separates the cost of living from other challenges, like our already changing climate. And this distinction is artificial.
