From hitting the slopes in back country British Columbia to winter camping in the deep, silent forests of a national park, there are so many ways that we can embrace travel in the winter season beyond the beach. Winter travel requires planning but its rewards are limitless.

We now need to consider the health and future viability of our home, the earth, and be mindful of our behaviour today as it will have an impact on the winters of tomorrow.

Listen in as we learn about the challenges faced by winter tourism and recreation with Dr. Daniel Scott, advocate of Protect Our Winters and a leading expert in the field of Climate Change at the University of Waterloo.

So let’s chill out and get the cold, hard facts on what it takes to be a winter wayfarer.
