ABOUT THE HUB

The Biosphere Institute of the Bow Valley’s recent climate engagement includes climate-action programming such as the Clean Commute Expo (May 2024) and new resilience-focused initiatives like partnering with the Town of Canmore to support residents/neighbourhoods becoming FireSmart.

Their ongoing programs are WildSmart (human–wildlife coexistence education, and outreach), ClimateSmart (community projects/workshops on low-carbon transportation, buildings, renewables, and waste), and Future Leaders (youth environmental education).

The Biosphere also has a community Hub program that empowers local leadership, amplifies diverse voices, and explores multiple ways of knowing in climate action and community resilience across the Bow Valley.

Calls to action: take their free “How to Be WildSmart” course, sign up for updates (e.g., newsletters/Bear Report), and get involved by volunteering or donating to support local climate and coexistence work in the Bow Valley.
