On behalf of the BLBCA and our 32 member lodges, we would like to offer our sincere condolences to all Jasper residents affected by the tragic consequences of Wednesday's wildfire activity. We will support you however we can. #JasperWildfire #JasperNationalPark @ParksCanada

This is a very interesting recollection of the events surrounding the Mallory and Irvine's 1924 attempt to climb Mt. Everest by Canadian, John Kaandorp. @GrippedMagazine @EverestToday #mountainhistory #mountainculture gripped.com/special-featur…

We found this number startling, had no idea this many people drowned in BC last year. It is a tragic number. Our deepest sympathies go out to the loved ones left behind. @Go_Fish_BC @WTAofBC @KayakAllianceBC @SFIBC @BearViewingBC bc.ctvnews.ca/more-than-100-…

Such a tragedy, our sincere condolences go out to the family and friends for their loss. Those folks are raising money for the SAR team that searched for them through this site; gofundme.com/f/remembering-… @BCSARAssoc @BCAdvSmart @PowderMatt @VancouverSun msn.com/en-ca/travel/n…

It's time the BC Gov't provided a detailed, complete update on their promise in 2020 to implement “the full slate” of recommendations an expert panel known as the Old Growth Strategic Review. @PowderMatt @ChwkOutdoorClub @AncientForestBC @Conserva_North nationalobserver.com/2024/07/16/opi…

When humans are careless with their trash, why does wildlife, particularly bears always lose. During 2023, 76 bears were euthanized (nice word for killed) in Prince George alone. Tragic. @PowderMatt @ChwkOutdoorClub @BCWildlife @BearViewingBC @BCGovNews cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

This is unbelievable; irresponsible and reckless behaviour. Nanaimo Mayor Krog is justified in finding this action "disturbing and upsetting." C'mon folks, grab some common sense! @BCAdvSmart @BCFireSmart @LeonardKrog @cityofnanaimo @TourismNanaimo globalnews.ca/news/10622038/…

Well written commentary by Scott Ellis, CEO of the Guide Outfitters Association of BC. It certainly seems unfair that the resource extraction sectors are being compensated for loss of tenures while the adventure tourism sector is not. @BearViewingBC biv.com/news/commentar…

This is a good idea but why are they waiting until Friday. The ban should have been instituted immediately, that would help reduce tragic possibilities. @cbcnewsbc @BCGovNews @ChwkOutdoorClub @BCAdvSmart @BCSARAssoc cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

According to a recent survey conducted by Living Lakes Canada, 72% of respondents are highly concerned about groundwater in the Columbia Basin. Check out their upcoming webinar, livinglakescanada.ca/our-programs/l…. @LivingLakesCA #CleanWater livinglakescanada.ca/2024/07/09/spr…

Amazing rescue, thanks to the team at North Shore rescue and modern technology. Nice work with the drone. One lucky hiker, that's for sure. @CTVNews @NSRescue @BCAdvSmart @BCSARAssoc @PowderMatt @ChwkOutdoorClub ctvnews.ca/video/c2949874…

C'mon people, the BC backcountry isn't your personal trash bin, quit using it as one. Thanks to the okanaganforesttaskforce.com and Tony De Bonis for cleaning up yet another pile of garbage. Attn. BC Gov't, you are needed. @BCGovNews @PowderMatt @GeorgeHeyman globalnews.ca/news/10601103/…

Great news, we thank the MECCS staff and crew for getting these amazing tunnels open again. We also wish them well in their efforts to get remainder reopened by 2025. Don't miss a chance to visit them. @cbcnewsbc @bcparksfdn @GeorgeHeyman #exploreBC cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Today we celebrate the heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding achievements of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis! #NIDP2024

What is up with this: "Feds delay closure of B.C.'s open-net salmon farms until 2029". Why wait until 2029, will there be any wild salmon left on BC's West Coast by then? The science seems to be pretty strong. @WTAofBC @BearViewingBC @sportfishingbc cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Thanks to the folks at DBC who continuously support the BLBCA and Adventure Tourism as a whole. We appreciate a job well done. @HelloBC #ExploreBC #unpluginBC #myBCbackcountry destinationbc.ca/news/destinati…

You might want to take a look at this report if you still are wondering about "climate changed". #ClimateCatastrophe @DavidSuzukiFDN @PowderMatt @ChwkOutdoorClub @avalancheca @ACMGca euronews.com/green/2024/05/…

Great question, why is a powerful person allowed to ignore all wildlife, wilderness habitat and environmental concerns? These transgressions happen far too regularly, across the planet. #wilderness #wildlife #sustainability @GretaThunberg #ecology ca.news.yahoo.com/why-trump-son-…

This is so unimaginably sad. Further proof that wildlife and fast moving vehicles just can't live together harmoniously. Obviously authorities and we who care need to do more. @BearViewingBC @WTAofBC @BCWildlife @CNRailway @CPKCrail @BCGovNews @PowderMatt castanetkamloops.net/news/BC/491697…

The findings are not surprising. Question is, why is there so much garbage? Likely because a lot of us buy too much unnecessary stuff. Extra R is Rethink, Rethink is about considering how our actions affect the environment. #Reduce #Reuse #Recycle #Rethink nationalobserver.com/2024/05/31/new…
