This document provides an overview and timeline of Pacific Wild's advocacy efforts to stop the British Columbia government's wolf cull program. Some key details include:
- The BC government launched a multi-year program to kill wolves from helicopters in order to protect endangered caribou herds, citing 184 wolves would be shot.
- Pacific Wild opposed this program through an online petition, billboard ads, and collaborating with celebrities/scientists to raise awareness. Over 350,000 signatures and 10,000 letters were submitted against the cull.
- Despite the advocacy efforts, over 250 wolves have been killed through the government's program over several years, though caribou numbers continue to decline.

The Squamish Days Loggers Sports Society runs British Columbia's longest-standing
community festival. The festival is deeply rooted in the local forestry industry, but has
since evolved into a broader celebration of Squamish with a variety of entertainment
and events for everyone. The Squamish Days team wanted to evolve their brand to
reach new audiences and visually communicate the festival's broader scope. We
developed a visual communication architecture that elevated the presence of
Squamish Days and gave room for the festival to expand its programming in the future.
