Some US resorts also got their inspiration from Whistler - thanks to the pioneering work of Al Raine and support from the minister of the NDP government (elected in 1972) Bob Williams, who devised the Resort Municipality zoning that turned a garbage dump into the Village we see today.
Both Raine and Williams passed away recently. Their work should be more acknowledged. Rather than, as usual, Canadians assuming it could only come from the US.
