In your opinion, what are the greatest needs for improving equitable access to outdoor recreation in our community? AND/OR What role could organizations play in addressing these needs? These are two questions being asked on a local survey by an outdoor recreation company here in #STL. I like the questions, but I always see people like me in the outdoors and I have resources to do almost any activity, so I don't think I am quite the right person to ask these questions to. What are your thoughts? #OutdoorRecreation #EquityOutdoors

This was a fabulous webinar with so many specific examples of what to do, while also highlighting the challenges facing Nations who are working hard (often at their own expense) to protect the land and be able to continue traditional practices essential for physical, emotional, amd spiritual health and wellbeing. The non-Indigenous community has a lot of learning to do and significant privilege that needs to be acknowledged and left at home when recreating on unceded traditional lands (FYI - those practices also make conservation sense). My most profound take away was the explicit reminder that - “Indigenous Nations and rural communities of carry the burden of tourism”. Super Natural BC is not found in urban centres with lots of infrastructure but rather the rural and remote communities with limited resources and funding.
