Building on Last Year’s Success

POW Canada’s inaugural Go Bid or Go Home auction raised $54,710 in 2025, supported by more than 70 brands and partners contributing over 135 items and experiences.

For 2026, the organization has set an ambitious $70,000 fundraising target.

Funds support POW Canada’s national climate initiatives, including athlete advocacy training, education programs, regional community events, government relations and campaigns focused on meaningful climate policy.

Protecting Canada’s Winters

For Canada’s powder skiing community, POW Canada’s work connects the future of winter recreation with environmental policy.

Protect Our Winters Canada brings athletes, mountain communities, outdoor businesses and recreational enthusiasts together to advocate for climate solutions.

Its work includes advancing clean energy, protecting mountain environments, strengthening community resilience to wildfires and ensuring Canada’s outdoor recreation economy has a stronger voice in government decisions.

The annual silent auction gives the outdoor industry and its community a direct way to support that work.
