We’re grateful to have Canadian Outdoor Medical Consulting supporting Winterfest this year — a local team dedicated to keeping people safe, prepared, and confident in the outdoors.

Canadian Outdoor Med (canadianoutdoormed.com) specializes in outdoor first aid training and risk management programs for professional organizations in BC. They believe outdoor professionals, such as guides, search and rescue members and ski and bike patrollers deserve training delivered in the environment they work in by experienced and knowledgeable instructors. They offer Outdoor Emergency Care, Wilderness First Aid and Worksafe approved Intermediate and Advanced first aid courses. They also offer top tier event medical and risk management programs for any size of event, in any location - remote or urban.

Nothing says Winterfest like roasting s’mores and gathering around a few cozy bonfires, and we’re so grateful to two local businesses helping make it happen! 🔥

Tyax Lodge & Chalets has generously donated s’mores supplies for kids (and kids at heart!) to enjoy throughout the day. Known for their beautiful lakeside lodge, outdoor adventures, and warm hospitality right here in the valley, Tyax is all about creating memorable experiences in the outdoors.

WhistlerFirewood.com is supplying the firewood to keep our bonfires going strong. Their locally sourced, high-quality firewood keeps homes, cabins, and community gatherings warm all season long — and we’re thankful for their support.

Thank you both for helping us add a little extra warmth to Winterfest! Stay tuned - we’ve got more amazing sponsors to share.
