In the news
Still fresh off a trip to a sustainability conference to Sweden, Whistler Mayor Ken Melamed has implored his constituents not to perpetrate the 'myth' that Whistler will be sustainable by the year 2020. “The planet is what makes us profitable,” he told the //Pique// in a later interview. “We cannot be sustainable if we cannot support the planet.” - [|Pique]

Tourism
Whistler-based [|Ziptrek Ecotours] has been highlighted in a 'sustainability in action' case study using The Natural Step sustainability framework.

Indigenous Peoples
http://www.slcc.ca - In 1997 the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) met with the Lil'wat Nation to consult about opportunities for the Nation's participation and presence in Whistler BC. Out of these discussions, the idea of a world-class cultural centre was born and a relationship in the spirit of goodwill and cooperation evolved. For more information on the Squamish Nation and Lil'wat Nation, visit [|www.squamish.net] and [|www.lilwat.ca].
