About Us
We are a social enterprise...
We are a social enterprise with an environmental mission, aiming to educate people about our environment and inspire action. We create creative, hands-on experiences and opportunities for people to deeply connect with and learn about the environment and live in a way that is more in harmony with our ecosystem. We operate our fun community events and art installations as non-profit programs, supported by grants, sponsorship, and our consulting work with businesses and custom experiences. We are focused on supporting diversity in our workplace, providing youth with work experience, choosing environmentally-friendly practices and materials when possible or ensuring we have a plan for repair, reuse and upcycle, running sustainable, low-impact events, and we spread environmental and social justice messaging through our work and ways for people to take action. We will be sharing an annual Benefit report to detail our social enterprise's journey towards our mission this year.

We are spearheaded by...
Our Creative Director, Melanie Lazelle, who has ended up in Squamish after exploring the world and engaging with social enterprises and innovative projects tackling local issues; creating unforgettable immersive experiences; educating on sustainability and climate change; and researching what impactful, ethical business looks like. Along the way she built a tiny house, started an ethical fashion company, completed her Masters in International Development, journeyed around India learning about what impactful business looks like and exploring supply chains from cotton fields to clothing factories, climbed to Everest Base Camp, and won a prize for her home-grown vegetables.
