Many of the venues and world-famous artists are accessible from the Village Stroll, making a self-guided to appreciate. walking tour a cultural delight.

From there, cross over Fitzsimmons Creek via the covered bridge to the Upper Village where the Squamish Lílwat Cultural Centre presents the traditional art, history and culture of the Squamish and Lílwat peoples, who have lived in the region for thousands of years.

If you’re feeling inspired by a sense of adventure, the great outdoors, and Whistler’s iconic local wildlife of whiskey jacks, bears and whistling marmots, consider enrolling in an art class.

British Columbian Precious

OPA LS Made in Canada Whistler, B.C.

AN ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY In 1991 Bob Yorke-Hardy staked a gold mining claim on a mountain near Vernon, B.C. Three months later Bob and his associates were breaking rocks and accidentally discovered another kind of treasure, a rare and beautiful gemstone—the precious opal. Yorke-Hardy soon opened the first, and only commercial opal mine in Canada.

ONE-OF-A-KIND JEWELLERY Every opal is entirely unique, and reveals a singular pattern, brightness and “play of colour” that sparkles with every hue in the spectrum of light.

Like snowflakes, no two opals are the same, and when you choose a precious opal you are buying a one-of-a kind gift.

For more information go to opalscanada.com Buy online at bcopals.com 250.938.1488

TAKE HOME A UNIQUELY CANADIAN TREASURE BROACHES · RINGS · BRACELETS PENDANTS · EARRINGS · INUKSHUKS CUT STONES · OPAL CHIP INLAY A PASSION FOR OKANAGAN WILDFIRE OPAL Chris Yorke-Hardy joined his prospecting father and embarked on a lifelong passion for mining the spectacular Okanagan Wildfire Opal hidden in the hills. After training with two internationally prominent jewellery designers, he became a gem-cutter and jewellry designer, and has been designing and creating exclusive pieces of jewellery for over two decades.

Chris primarily fashions his custom gold and silver jewellery featuring precious opal from the family-owned deposit. His exquisite designs also include gemstones such as Canadian diamonds, garnets, peridot, jade and minerals.
