Episode Details

Avalanche Canada, vital for winter safety in Alberta, faces potential service cuts as the provincial government hasn’t renewed its $250K annual funding—critical for 5% of their budget. With no response since August last year, the CEO warns bureaucratic delays are unusually prolonged. Their forecasts and education save lives: snowmobilers, hikers, and dog sledders rely on them, especially as Alberta accounts for nearly 20% of Canadian avalanche deaths (excluding mechanized skiing). Last winter’s single fatality? Attributed to their work. Without funding, public safety in Alberta’s backcountry could be at serious risk.
