Support Outdoor Vancouver.
Get cool stuff.
Because of Ad-blockers, advertising revenue is falling quickly across the internet, and independently-run sites like Outdoor Vancouver are hit hardest by it. Our basic monthly operating costs from website hosting, newsletter, and software fees are over $300. This is before factoring in the dozens and dozens of hours we spend creating content and new hiking guides each month, and other expenses like gas and camera gear.
We are committed to keeping the content on Outdoor Vancouver free and independent, but we need to find other ways to continue operating this site without depending on ads.
Patreon is a crowd-funding platform that allows you to support Outdoor Vancouver with small monthly contributions, while getting cool rewards in return!
