About Pemberton & Whistler
- Pemberton is a village north of Whistler in the Pemberton Valley of BC with a population of 2,192
- Until the 1960’s the village could only be accessed by train but that changed when Hwy 99 was built through Whistler (formerly named Alta Lake) and on to Pemberton.
- Pemberton is renowned for its wide valley and fertile farmland
- The climate of Pemberton is very warm and dry in the summer and mild and wet in the winter
- Pemberton was named after Joesph Despard Pemberton, a surveyor-general for the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1850’s. Joesph Pemberton had laid out Victoria’s townsite and supervised the building of B.C.’s first legislative building
- The village of Pemberton has a charming, rustic in appearance that looks like the set of an Old West movie. This is partial deliberate (for tourism) but is also a legacy of the area’s roots as part of the Lillooet Country and its ranching and mining culture.
- Pemberton is growing at a rapid rate, outpacing that of Whistler (a rate of 7.3% since 2003 while Whistler is 0.5%)
- A small airport that services commuter-sized planes and private jets serves as the airstrip for Whistler. There are no scheduled flights into Pemberton.
- Summer is wildfire season, please check conditions at bcwildfire.ca
