Lululemon Founder Buys Canadian Island To Conserve Ecosystem By Giulia Campos
on July 01 2021 8:53 AM Canadian island Saturnina was purchased by the family of the Lululemon founder, Chip Wilson, and donated to the BC Parks Foundation.
Lululemon founder Chip Wilson has purchased the small Canadian island Saturnina in efforts to preserve the rare Douglas fir ecosystem.
Wilson also aided in the purchase of two other Canadian islands also located in the Salish Sea. His conservation efforts come at a time of growing criticism of the British Columbia government’s failure to adequately protect other old-growth ecosystems.
Wilson’s foundation has also donated $3.2 million to save the islands, which will be donated to the British Columbia Parks Foundation. The efforts started in 2020 as a global crowdfunding campaign to save West Ballenas. Wilson’s foundation matched the donations and bought the islands, as well.
As we transition out of sneaker and loafer season, it s time to start thinking about the boots you have in rotation. Sometimes all you need is one good pair, other times it s nice to have a few different pairs for different occasions. To help you on your footwear journey, we ve gone ahead and rounded up a list of both classics and fancier options.
Ask yourself: will I be bracing the snow the next few months? Or are you one of those Californians who only experiences winter in theory? Do you prefer biker-chic, or Dapper Dan? Whatever your needs may be, we have the boot for you.
