Canadians playing pond hockey on the prairies, skiing down the powdery<br />

faces of the Canadian Rockies, skating along the Rideau Canal,<br />

cross-country skiing through Quebec’s forests, building snow forts in<br />

communities across the country – these are just some of the images that define<br />

the Canadian identity.<br />

This report examines how the decisions we make now about our response to<br />

global warming, including choices to reduce carbon dioxide emissions <strong>and</strong><br />

implement adaptive measures, will ultimately affect the future of winter sports<br />

<strong>and</strong> the role they play as part of Canada’s identity, natural heritage, <strong>and</strong> economy.<br />

The <strong>David</strong> <strong>Suzuki</strong> Foundation is committed to achieving sustainability<br />

within a generation in Canada. A healthy environment is a vital cornerstone<br />

of a sustainable, prosperous future.<br />
