Sea to Sky

Rugged and almost overwhelmingly beautiful, the region known as the Sea-to-Sky Corridor will satiate anyone’s thirst for adventure. Skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, sailing, rock climbing, hiking, camping, golf – all these activities and more are abundantly accessible in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor.

The Corridor comprises a fast-growing area that stretches north of Vancouver from Furry Creek to D’Arcy. Major centres include Squamish, with close to 15,000 residents, the resort destination of Whistler, with approximately 10,000 full-time residents, and Pemberton, home to approximately 8,000. Several First Nations communities are part of the Sea to Sky mosaic. The Corridor is a recreational Mecca, and visitors can swell the population of Whistler to 100,000 in the busy season.

Meet Our Staff

“I am grateful for this opportunity at Squamish General Hospital because it has allowed me to design my life for a better work/life balance.
