Louise Pedersen

I'm excited to be bringing a place-based perspective from British Columbia, Canada. As Executive Director of the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC, I work to strengthen the connections between outdoor recreation, community wellbeing, and environmental stewardship.

I’m passionate about putting the principles of Doughnut Economics into practice, helping communities thrive within ecological limits while ensuring that everyone can lead healthy, connected lives. My work focuses on collaboration with governments, recreation groups, and local leaders to create more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable communities across BC.
