Project Description:

The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre - where rivers, mountains and people meet - embodies the spirit of partnership between Whistler's two Native cultures, the Squamish Aboriginal people and the Lil'wat Aboriginal people. The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre, the first of its kind in Canada, offers guests the opportunity to learn about two distinctly different BC First Nations. Already a landmark, this magnificent venue is designed in the form of two traditional dwellings; a Squamish Longhouse and Lil'wat Istken (underground pit dwelling). The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre adds a rich and distinct BC Aboriginal Cultural component to the resort community of Whistler. The museum and exhibit areas are illuminated utilizing track lighting systems from Lighting Services Inc.
