10:07 p.m., Dec. 14: Thank you kindly for remaining in Whistler if you are in Whistler this evening. This is the final message for the evening, but the Emergency Reception Centre will remain open at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

This project was commissioned by the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Resort. As part of an extensive redevelopment of the mountain side landscape, the hotel and their landscape architect Tom Barratt, created this garden.

A public art competition was held and The Garden & the Wilderness proposal was selected. The project incorporates garden elements and plays with scale and whimsy in creating a place between the mountain and Whistler’s chateau-style hotel.

Public art nearby:

• 142 Full Circle mural under the Blackcomb Way Bridge on the trail to Whistler Village

• 144 Welcome Arch posts at entry to Club Intrawest, 130 metres to the north
