“For over five decades, Grouse Mountain has been more than just “The Peak of Vancouver” — it has been a mountain of possibility, inclusion, and community connection. Since the early 1970s, Grouse Mountain has been a steadfast and generous partner of Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports (VASS), offering not only access to their world-class facilities but unwavering support to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to experience the freedom and joy of skiing and snowboarding. Through their continued in-kind donations of lift access, land for our yurt home, and dedicated training spaces, Grouse Mountain has empowered thousands of adaptive athletes — from young children to seniors — to redefine their limits, build confidence, and experience the North Shore’s outdoor magic in an inclusive environment. Grouse’s staff and leadership have consistently shown a genuine commitment to accessibility and community service, going above and beyond to support VASS programming. This includes accommodating specialized needs, supporting VASS fundraising events, and welcoming our volunteer instructors and athletes as valued members of the mountain community. The ripple effect of Grouse Mountain’s impact is profound: lives changed, barriers removed, and a stronger, more compassionate North Shore community built on inclusion, adventure, and shared mountain experiences. We believe Grouse Mountain exemplifies the spirit of the Community Impact Award and has made a legacy-defining contribution to our region — not just as a destination, but as a force for good in our community”
