We believe the outdoors changes lives. Being active outside challenges us, recharges us, makes us better humans. We want to help more people feel the impact of the outdoors – so we’re giving back.
We invest in groups that are actively working to break down barriers of access and increase equity in the outdoors.
Through it all, our goal is to help:
- Teach outdoor skills
- Protect wild spaces
- Grow the communities of people getting active outside
Our push to give back to the outdoors stretches way back. Since 1987, we’ve contributed more than $48 million to Canadian outdoor recreation and conservation initiatives – and your support of MEC makes it possible.
