In response to the growing number of visitors flocking to Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, BC Parks is implementing measures to address pressing public safety concerns, recognize Indigenous values and improve the overall visitor experience.

WorkBC’s Find Your Fit Tour will be in Pemberton at Pemberton Secondary school on Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017, and open to the public from 3:30–7 p.m.

And they’re off! Local sporthorse breeder and rider and horse-training company, Dreamcatcher Meadows Sporthorse Breeding and Training Centre (DMV), is launching a project to increase awareness and sales of  B.C. bred sporthorses.

The B.C. government is providing $91,000 to two organizations to help manage invasive plants in the Sea to Sky area.

Four school districts in the region will receive a combined $90,000 in funding for the Youth Work in Trades program to boost trades training for young people.

BC Wildfire Service crews will be conducting a series of controlled pile burns in the Pemberton area in October and November to remove logging debris and reduce the risk of wildfires in the area.

Under the BC Rural Dividend, the Province is providing $100,000 to the N’Quatqua First Nation to create a five-year comprehensive economic development strategy, West Vancouver-Sea to Sky MLA Jordan Sturdy announced.

The N’Quatqua Band Council and the First Nations’ Emergency Services Society of B.C. will be conducting a prescribed burn near D’Arcy (about 27 kilometres northeast of Pemberton) on Wednesday, June 8, 2016.

Significant progress has been made containing the Elaho and Boulder Creek wildfires, due to the hard work of BC Wildfire Service crews who have taken advantage of reduced fire behaviour in recent days.
