Whistler Has Heart
To thank community and essential workers for their strength, support and kindness to one another, one hundred wooden hearts have been painted by local artists and residents and will be featured at different locations throughout Whistler Valley in February. The vibrant, heartfelt expressions of hope and joy will be displayed Wednesdays to Saturdays, 9 AM – 4 PM, at different parks in Whistler.
Heritage Week at Britannia Mine Museum
Celebrate the history of British Columbia at Britannia Mine Museum, a National Historic Site on the shores of Howe Sound. The mine has a fascinating history. Over 60,000 people lived and worked here; a site of tragedy and triumph, pioneering work on ore mining and copper extraction, fires, floods, and much more. This history is well preserved in thoughtfully curated exhibits that include machinery and equipment, photo archives, structures on the site, and the historic Mill No.3 building; one of most innovative and striking industrial buildings in all of Canada.
“Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today and we pass to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration, our touchstone, our reference point, our identity.”
