Join us for a Special Fundraising Event and Screening
of the Acclaimed Film All.I.Can
We haven’t seen many snowmen around this
winter causing some of us at Blue
Mountain to break out a
snow dance. However, the solution to climate change isn’t so simple and
to help raise awareness about environmental sustainability Blue Mountain
is hosting the 9th annual Keep Winter Cool event on March 15th,
2012 from 11:00am – 4:00pm. Keep Winter Cool aims to raise awareness
about the potential effects of climate change and encourages skiers and
snowboarders to start taking steps to reduce their own environmental impact.
This year’s event aligns with March Break
and features educational, fun programs for the whole family. Meet members of
McMaster University’s Solar Car Project team with one of their solar racing
cars; hang out with Animal Ambassadors from the Earth Rangers team; listen to
your favourite tunes powered entirely by solar energy through the Collus
Renewable Energy Trailer; test out your power on the bicycle and hand-crank
generators with Elephant Thoughts; and write, paint or draw on our Keep Winter
Cool art mural. Representatives from the Environment Network, Bullfrog
Power, Free Spirit Gardens, and the Town of Blue Mountains will also be on site
so our guests can learn more about how to Keep Winter Cool!
ALL.I.CAN FILM SCREENING FUNDRAISER
New this year, Blue Mountain
is pleased to announce that it is screening Sherpas Cinema’s highly acclaimed
film All.I.Can. The movie is the winner of the Best Feature-Length
Mountain Film at the 2011 Banff Film Festival and is the first of its kind to
integrate discussion on climate change and sustainability into a ski film. Shot
on six continents over two years, the world’s best skiers deliver inspirational
performances while ground-breaking cinematography expands our vision of the
natural world.
In conjunction with the Keep Winter Cool
event, the screening will take place on Thursday, March 15th at
8:00pm in the Weider Conference Room (Blue Mountain Inn). Doors will open
at 7:30pm. Blue
Mountain is also pleased
to welcome special guest speaker Eric Novak, also known as Enviro Dad (www.envirodad.com), to MC this special
event. All.I.Can tickets are on sale for $10.00 at all Blue
Mountain Guest Service desk locations. The event will
include free popcorn, a cash bar (with valid photo I.D.) and draws for a
selection of great door prizes – including a 5x7™ Season Pass for
2012/2013. All proceeds generated from the
event will be donated to the Environment Network to provide funding for a
variety of community environmental programs.
