Learn About Zero Ceiling
As soon as we create that community and create that space, everybody opens up and everybody is really open to just learning and experiencing these new sports.
Co-Founder of Indigenous Women Outdoors
I think we all talk about this unspoken connection that you just don't even have to name. It's just there and it happens and everyone feels comfortable.
Co-Founder of Indigenous Women Outdoors
When you get to go out with people who you just feel like you relate with, you're not expected to be anything by yourself.
Founder of Incluskivity
The most impactful thing that I've heard from a mentee over the past couple of years has been, ‘I see you doing these things and now I feel like I can do that.’
Executive Director of the Service Board
What's really beautiful is it has given me an avenue to feeling like I can be a good mentor just with what I have.
Founder of BelayAll
I think access to the outdoors is a right, and where possible we should be promoting that.
