Canada declares plastic toxic!

Plastic is now considered toxic under Canada’s primary environmental law — the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). Read the full story HERE.

 

In honour of World Oceans Day Arcteryx has made a fantastically generous donation to our chapter in order to fund our many programs and campaigns keeping plastic out of our oceans as well as cleaning it up off the shoreline.

This donation makes programs like our YES program possible! YES is our Youth Environmental Stewardship program, designed to educate, inspire, and empower young people to step up as leaders in their community and make tangible change!

 

Congratulations to Clint!

Since joining the team, Clint has taken on multiple leadership positions as our Hold On To Your Butt campaign lead and Vice Chair. He has helped to guide the EC with the chapter's strategic planning and has led the HOTYB committee which has now recycled almost 1,000,000 cigarette butts out of the Pacific Rim. We are so lucky to have you!!!!
