In 2023, Grouse Mountain Resort’s Easter on the Peak, and Peak of Christmas celebrations raised much needed funds for Family Services of the North Shore, a non-profit, community-based agency, committed to making a deep and lasting impact from Deep Cove to Bowen Island and everywhere in between. Through various event proceeds across the Easter weekend, and donations from photos with Santa, we are proud to have raised more than $20,000 for this incredible charity.<div><br></div><div>This donation will be directed towards Family Services North Shore’s Thrive Family Programs and Community Hub. Both of these programs reach hundreds of families and individuals who need support throughout the year and with this donation, Family Services North Shore can ensure that they are able to continue to support the most vulnerable in our community and reach even more people who need their services. <span style="letter-spacing: 0.03em;">As an example of the difference these programs are making:</span><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.42px;"><br></span><div>Thrive Family Programs had 12,760 visits in 2023, including:</div><div>✔ 10,370 Snacks and meals provided</div><div>✔ Free counselling</div><div>✔ Free programming to families</div><div>✔ Free breastfeeding support</div><div>✔ Referrals and access to our mental health and other programs</div><div>✔ Connection with community and other families</div><div><br></div><div>The Community Hub supported 1000’s of individuals and families in 2023 including:</div><div>✔ 2,275 people supported by the Christmas Bureau</div><div>✔ 790 bags of groceries delivered to vulnerable families</div><div>✔ 1780 meals delivered to isolated seniors</div><div>✔ 1,200 personal care kits provided</div><div>✔ Connection days for all clients</div><div>✔ Gently used clothing for all clients</div><div><br></div><div>In 2023, Grouse Mountain’s choice of charitable partners had a hyperlocal focus to support our immediate neighbors and community members. These include Metro Vancouver Regional Parks Foundation, Family Services North Shore, and North Shore Rescue through events such as the Grouse Grind Mountain Run, Seek the Peak, the Multi Grouse Grind Challenge, Easter on the Peak, and Peak of Christmas. Across these events, we were able to raise more than $75,000 collectively for these charities, directly benefiting those in our local community. We are very much looking forward to continuing the support of these amazing organizations in 2024. </div></div></div>Megan Forsyth tag:www.grousemountain.com,2005:News/4788442024-02-09T12:46:47-08:002024-02-12T12:37:35-08:00Terrain Opening Plus Snow School Update.

Happy Holidays from all of us in the Wildlife Team here at the Grouse Mountain Refuge for Endangered Wildlife! As a final blog of the year, we wanted to share a few wildlife photos and a few thoughts from 2023. <div><br></div><div>2023 was a great year for Grinder and Coola, our two Grizzly Bears, who celebrated their 22nd Bear-thday this summer (though their actual birthday is sometime in January each year during hibernation!) with a grizzly bear sized ice/fruit/salmon/whipped cream cake! The bears also had a physical checkup from our Director and Veterinarian, Dr. Ken Macquisten, in the springtime and passed with flying colors. They then went on to have a standard lazy bear summer followed by a great Fall putting on the weight for their long 2023/2024 winter sleep which started on November 23rd, 2023. We look forward to seeing them out and about again in the Spring!</div><div><br></div><div>Our Owl Wildlife Ambassadors had a great summer of owl talks, school visits, camp visits and general wanderings around the mountain! We welcomed a new addition this year and after a naming contest introduced Apollo our newest ambassador - a young male Great Horned Owl. He continues to do well here and is back in action giving owl talks daily, along with Odin our Barred Owl and Cleo our Barn Owl.</div><div><br></div><div>Our hummingbird conservation and monitoring program ran from June to August and we continue to contribute data to an overall study and report on the status of hummingbird populations in BC and western North America. Our station on top of Grouse Mountain serves as an important control site as the birds up here show different statuses from birds found at lower elevations. Stay tuned for an updated webpage in the spring showing off some of the important research we have been helping with!</div><div><br></div><div>Finally we are now into our 2023 Peak of Christmas event and giving daily Reindeer Talks. Be sure to visit Vixen at the habitat and say hi to her and our ranger team this holiday season!</div><div><br></div><div>We look forward to spending the next couple of months getting ready for an exciting 2024 season ahead. </div><div><br></div><div>Happy Holidays everyone! Here is a short gallery of some of our images from this past year:</div>

Having sharpened his knives at renowned restaurants both in Canada and abroad, Chef Ron has been able to diversify and hone his skills across various cuisines and culinary styles. He brings to Grouse Mountain more than 25 years of experience and his leadership in the kitchen and across the entire food and beverage team has already proved to be invaluable. <div><br></div><div>With a food philosophy of: simple ingredients, treated properly and executed well, Chef Ron has transformed the menus across the different dining options at Grouse Mountain while allowing local, seasonal produce to shine. </div><div><br></div><div>“That’s the way to produce good dishes,” he said. “It starts with the product and then it moves on to the care that we take in the kitchen before reaching the customer and allowing them to experience it.” </div><div><br></div><div>“The interesting thing about Grouse Mountain is that we have an array of different venues within the Chalet that really provide something for everyone,” he continued. “I can take a little bit of all of my experience and apply that to making a delicious cheeseburger or poutine in Lupins, to an amazing salad in Altitudes, and then playing around with high end ingredients like black truffle in The Observatory.” </div><div><br></div><div>It was this culinary diversity that originally attracted Chef Ron to the role in the first place. Well, that, and the view. </div><div><br></div><div>“Being able to come to work everyday and have the benefit of looking over the city is clearly amazing.” </div><div><br></div><div>Putting Chef Ron’s food philosophy into practice, we’re excited to announce our new menus: Altitudes Bistro (already available), Winter Fondue (launching December 3) and The Observatory (launching December 5).
