Sea to Sky Cultural Alliance

The Sea to Sky Corridor stretches from North Vancouver to Mount Currie, including Bowen Island. With a population of approximately 130,000 residents, the region has a rich and diverse cultural sector. Throughout the year, a variety of events celebrate the uniqueness of each community with few cultural linkages between these communities.

Recognizing the value to be gained through greater collaboration, particularly with respect to opportunities presented by the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, a cross-section of community leaders from throughout the Corridor held a series of meetings during the spring of 2006 exploring coincidental interests. The result was creation of the “Sea to Sky Cultural Alliance”, a collaborative initiative with the purpose of stimulating engagement in cultural experiences throughout the region.

The vision is "Working with Spirit Regionally" on

1. Planning & Coordination
2. Arts Advocacy
3. Branding & Marketing
4. Strategic Partnerships

The Alliance is now looking to expand and build broader consensus on the benefits of collaboration and actions for moving forward. A one-day Cultural Forum has been proposed to accomplish this goal. Details available end of September.
