The Whistler Blackcomb Foundation granted funding to 18 community organizations across the Sea to Sky. Its 2023 Telus Golf Classic takes place Sept. 8.
The Pemberton Fire Rescue has put a callout for new volunteer members. Though applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, the force is now actively recruiting new volunteer firefighters.. . .
Smaller fires were also extinguished near the road leading towards the Mount Currie new site, and under the set of power lines near the intersection of Urdal Road and Poplar Road, said Mack.
The Meadows Road fire was called in shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday. While the smaller fires were simpler to contain, Mack said the larger one required a lot of manpower there and a lot of equipment. We had Forestry involved with the one up on the Meadows Road because it actually jumped across the Ryan River and got going on the other side, said Mack. We had to bring in Raye Shier and his crews and fall a bunch of trees.
