    We will be postponing our upcoming Speaker Series with Stephanie Sloan and Mike Douglas due to the recent rise in COVID cases in Whistler and some technical delays. We will be hosting the event in the future, though we do not yet have a set date. Stay tuned for more information.
    The messy aftermath of a fire at the Whistler Question's production offices in Function Junction. We have posted a lot of photographs from the Question taken between 1978 and 1985 over the past few years - the negatives of those photographs were saved from this fire and, thanks to Question photographer Brian Smith, restored before being donated to the museum. Not all of the negatives could be completely restored, which is why the collection has some gaps and some images are distorted. Many other images were destroyed completely, especially those taken between 1986 and 1991. Photo: Whistler Question Collection, 1991
    Many photos in our collections are not in pristine condition, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth sharing. This photograph has some structural damage but also captures a great image of Rainbow Lodge in its first five years of operations. Rainbow Lodge opened in 1914 and was one of the first purpose-built tourism businesses at Alta Lake. Photo: Philip Collection
