We had an incredible weekend at the Calgary Outdoor Adventure and Travel Show! Two of our staff members, Lindsey Wallis and Sara Heerema, were there to chat with attendees and showcase AWA. We were lucky to share a booth with one of our fantastic supporters, Bowness Soapworks, who were selling a selection of handmade pottery and nature-inspired soap bars. Lucky for us, we got to smell them all day long and have some great conversations with our booth-buddies.

The show picked up around noon on both days, and both of us were busy telling people about AWA’s main goals for conservation in the province, giving out pamphlets and Wild Lands Advocates, and meeting new people from across Alberta and beyond who were excited about Wild Alberta! We ended up having 19 new members sign up at the show, and over 200 people signed up to receive our bi-weekly newsletter.  Congratulations to the winner of our prize draw, Joanne! We hope to see our new supporters at some of our upcoming events.
