SUMMARY:Pint of Knowledge | Castlegar\, B.C.
DESCRIPTION:Come out for coexistence\, communities\, and great company\nB.C. Backcountry Hunters presents Pint of Knowledge\, happening Thursday\, February 15 at 6PM PT. \nCome out to learn more about Y2Y’s work to help communities understand\, embrace\, and adopt practices that promote harmonious coexistence with wildlife. Josh Welsh\, Y2Y’s Communities and Conservation and Senior Manager\, will share insights on ‘Wise Practices for Human-Wildlife Coexistence’. \nJoin us at Tailout Bewing in Castlegar\, British Columbia\, for a fun evening of coexistence conversations\, door prizes\, raffles\, food and drinks. All ages are welcome. \nWhy does Y2Y’s coexistence and communities work matter?\nCommunities and wildlife thrive when the needs of both are met. \nSome species\, such as grizzly bears\, represent the health of a landscape and many other species because of their habitat requirements. So\, if people living within the Yellowstone to Yukon region can coexist with grizzly bears\, then our collective environment will be healthier. \nReducing human and wildlife conflicts maintains safety\, builds community-wildlife tolerance and improves wildlife habitat across the landscape. Y2Y’s work supports people seeing bears as a part of a healthy system\, and not solely an element to manage.

SUMMARY:Canadian Mountain Assessment report launch | Banff\, AB
DESCRIPTION:Join Y2Y and partners for the release of the Canadian Mountain Assessment report on Nov. 4\, 2023 as part of the 2023 Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival. Contributors will discuss the unique approach to knowledge assessment and co-creation used to create the report\, as well as the assessments key findings and recommendations. \nThe Canadian Mountain Assessment provides a first-of-its-kind look at what we know\, do not know\, and need to know about mountain systems in Canada. The multi-chapter assessment report is based on insights from First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuit knowledges of mountains\, as well as findings from an extensive assessment of pertinent academic literature. The assessment’s inclusive knowledge co-creation approach aims to bring these multiple forms of evidence together in ways that enhance our collective understanding of mountains in Canada\, while also respecting and maintaining the integrity of different knowledge systems. This transdisciplinary initiative is catalyzing a community of practice related to mountains in Canada and is expected to set the mountain research agenda for Canada for the coming decade.

SUMMARY:A night for nature in the Bow Valley | Y2Y trivia night fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Love nature\, the Bow Valley community\, supporting conservation\, and maybe even a good craft brew?\n\n\n\nOn June 15\, come out and support Y2Y’s work to connect and protect the wildlife and wild spaces like the ones that make the Bow Valley so special. \n\n\n\nJoin us at the Wood Restaurant in Canmore\, Alberta for an evening of nature conservation trivia games\, good company\, food and drinks — all for a good cause. \n\n\n\nTickets are available by donation to Y2Y (suggested donation of $5 per person.) All proceeds from ticket purchases go to Y2Y. Your support is appreciated! \n\n\n\nAdvanced registration is required to reserve seats. Seatings are available at 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Please choose your seating time when registering. \n\nCalgary-based Screaming Retriever Brewing Company’s Kananaskis IPA beer will be on special\, with a portion of sales going to Y2Y’s work. \n\n\n\nThis is a family-friendly event! To add to the fun\, the outdoor side patio is dog-friendly\, so feel free to reserve your spot on the patio and bring your furry friend\, too. \n\n\n\nWhy support Y2Y’s work in the Bow Valley and beyond?\n\n\n\nThe Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y) Conservation Initiative has its roots in the Bow Valley\, having formed in the early 1990s. Today we are still based out of Canmore\, with amazing work being done by team members across the region from Yellowstone to the Yukon. \n\n\n\nThe Bow Valley sits at the heart of the 3\,400-kilometre-long Yellowstone to Yukon region — a stretch of intact mountain landscapes and ecosystems that are home to a myriad of wildlife from grizzly bears\, caribou and wolverine; as well as many diverse communities\, including at least 75 Indigenous territories. \n\n\n\nY2Y works to connect and protect landscapes across this important region so both people and nature can thrive. We highlight and focus on local issues — from wildlife crossings to coexistence with wildlife — that have implications for the region\, and work with partners to stitch together this landscape. You are a critical part of this wild movement!
