Project Summary

The Sea-to-Sky Greenbelt will be a multi-party collaboration bridging the gap amongst jurisdictional land use plans by engaging the Squamish and Lil’wat First Nations, the Province of BC, Squamish Lillooet Regional District, and the three main municipalities in the region (Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton). The integration of urban, rural, watershed and habitat objectives will serve to advance the protection of vulnerable wildlife corridors, riparian areas, and salmon habitat through sustainable urban planning and development. We will engage all levels of government, First Nations and local NGOs through multi-stakeholder meetings, public workshops, and one-on-one discussions. In addition to directly supporting the Greenbelt initiative, the results from the mapping exercises will be shared with all interested parties to further the conservation objectives found in their individual plans and/or organizational mandates.
