Sea to Sky Cultural Signage
BC’s famous Sea-to-Sky Highway, which connects Vancouver with Squamish, Whistler and Lillooet, has recently been embellished with informative signage and kiosks describing the Lil’wat-Squamish land that the road runs through. In addition to seven information kiosks, there will be seven smaller engraved panels at seven other pullouts along the highway with information about the Squamish Nation's history and its people. This project was included in the 2010 Olympic Games Legacy Project.Take note of these new additions next time you are driving down the highway…but keep your eyes on the road!
