Season 4: Episode 4 - Sea to Sky Mayors: Building Connection Across the Corridor
On this episode of The Whistler Podcast, we zoom out from our mountain town and look at the broader picture of what it means to be part of the Sea to Sky corridor in 2025. Hosts Jack Crompton and Brandon Barrett sit down with Squamish Mayor Armand Hurford and Pemberton Mayor Mike Richman for a candid conversation about shared challenges, evolving identities, and the power of regional collaboration.
From regional transit and housing affordability to climate resilience and the pressures of growth, this episode explores the threads that connect our communities and the work it takes to strengthen them. You’ll also hear about log-rolling at Squamish Logger Sports, the transformation of Sp’akw’us Feather Park, coaching high school basketball, and what it means to preserve the character of a place while embracing inevitable change.
Whether you live in Whistler, commute from Pemberton, or spend the weekend in Squamish, this episode highlights why regional conversations matter more than ever. Please tune in and look deeper at the mayors leading the charge behind the places we call home.
