We have a long-established commitment to the local environment and community - the home territory of the Ka:'yu:'k't'h' - Che:k:tles7et'h' (Kyuquot-Checleset) First Nation. With local ownership, WCE is working toward significant lasting contributions to the economic and community development opportunities for the Kyuquot people and area...and to models of wilderness-based eco-adventure tourism elsewhere.We cherish the friendship and trust that is shared with the residents and businesses of the area. We also work closely with industry groups, researchers, graduate students, and conservation and government agencies (e.g., BC Parks, BC Forest Service) to help foster understanding and stewardship of the local community, environment and associated protected areas - supporting the interdependent elements of successful and sustainable adventure travel on Vancouver Island and in BC.
