Whistler Resort Municipality: Marketplace: Highway 99 at Lorimer Road in Whistler, looking north

Whistler Resort Municipality combines an alpine setting with a lively four-season resort atmosphere in a way that reflects its position in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains. The community lies between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, whose ski terrain and lift network have made it one of Canada’s best-known mountain destinations. Alta Lake and the Valley Trail add a quieter lakeside, pedestrian dimension, while the Peak 2 Peak Gondola links the two mountains. Whistler hosted alpine skiing events during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, reinforcing its international sporting profile.

British Columbia has served as Canada’s Pacific frontier since joining Confederation in 1871. This vast western province extends from the Pacific coast across the Coast Mountains and interior plateaus to the Canadian Rockies; these coordinates lie in its sparsely settled northern interior. The Fraser, British Columbia’s longest river, drains a large part of the province before reaching the Strait of Georgia. First Nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain integral to communities throughout the province. Victoria, on Vancouver Island, is the provincial capital, while Vancouver is its largest city and a major Pacific port. Forestry, mining, fisheries and outdoor travel all reflect a terrain where waterways and mountain corridors matter.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
