Did You Know?
Whistler became the first designated resort municipality in Canada in 1975, after being developed with hopes for Vancouver to host the Olympics in 1968. Though Vancouver lost this honor to Grenoble, France, a resort destination was born, and their persistence paid off; Vancouver will be host to the 2008 Olympics.
