Mindful Footprints - Leave No Trace

Here at LEMONADE, we’ve had an inspiring week! From shooting some behind-the-scenes moments in Whistler for a mountain-bike-focused group next year, to creating fresh, inspiring sales collateral (because we’re on a mission to share the LEMONADE love far and wide).

We have also been reconnecting with industry friends from around the globe – a wonderful reminder of how energising people and ideas can be.

Last but not least, we have been chatting with some very exciting facilitators who are helping us bring new projects to life right here in Whistler. Fresh ideas, meaningful partnerships, and a shared sense of purpose - that’s the good stuff.

A common thread in many of our conversations, both locally and globally, is the importance of leaving no trace. Now although we don’t always operate deep in the backcountry - sometimes our clients do prefer a private residence, quirky venue, or upscale restaurant - we recognise that many of the experiences we facilitate are adventure and outdoor-focused. With that, we thought it was about time we shared how deeply we care about the environments we work and play in. Whistler’s trails, parks, and outdoor spaces are governed by thoughtful rules and permitting systems, and we’re proud to operate within them.

At LEMONADE, sustainability is woven into everything we do:

·       Leave no trace: Our team and our supplier network follow the principle of packing out everything we pack in, staying on designated trails, and educating guests on ecosystem sensitivity. As Whistler’s tourism guidance reminds us: “In Whistler, we pack out what we pack in.”

·       Mindful waste management: We encourage minimal use of single-use plastics, recycling, and responsible waste practices.

·       Local partnerships: By working with local guides, operators, and food producers, we reduce our transport footprint, support the local economy, and make experiences more authentic.

For us, sustainability isn’t a trend - it’s an absolute standard. We only work in spaces that welcome us, partner with people who share our respect for the land, and plan events that leave our surroundings just as beautiful as we found them.

LEAVE NO TRACE PRINCIPLES FOR YOU

At LEMONADE, we believe experiences can be intentional, joyful, and responsible. Because when Mother Nature gives you so much, it just feels right to take care of her in return.
