Abstract:
Following the adoption of Whistler’s updated Official Community Plan on June 23, the province announced a new Framework Agreement between itself, the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW), the Squamish and Lil’wat Nations and Whistler Blackcomb on Friday.
The agreement expands on and supercedes previous understandings between the parties, including a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in 2017 and a Protocol Agreement in 2018.
Where the MOU laid out key interests to be explored, “this is where we’re committing to these arrangements,” said outgoing Whistler chief administrative officer Mike Furey.
“It’s an agreement between the parties that really provides for greater opportunities for the Lil’wat and Squamish to work with Whistler and the RMOW on economic development, tourism opportunities, and promoting cultural awareness.
