- EEmily Serrell16/08/2024Cultural Gem: Perfect Wedding VenueCultural Gem: Perfect Wedding VenueAs a local to Whistler I’ve visited the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre a few times - both pre-covid and during covid. The space itself is stunning - a beautiful place to learn about, and honour the culture, history and language of the Lil’wat and Squamish nations. Definitely check out the short film and guided tour - it’s the best way to learn more during your visit. There is a really lovely interpretive trail directly behind the building you should check out too!As a local to Whistler I’ve visited the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre a few times - both pre-covid and during covid.
