This item is the Resort Municipality's first recreation master plan technical drawing by Trevor Roote. The file contains a three year (1981-1983) program - recreation land development prepared by Trevor Roote, and the sketch was used at public meetings to promote a referendum which raised two million dollars. The funds were used to start building the valley floor recreation facilities like parks, trails, and beaches. The original plan was produced by a volunteer ad hoc committee including Trevor Roote, Al Raine, Murray Coates, Sid Young and Cesar Gianna.

Photographic and textual material created and collected by the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) relating to planning and development of Whistler Village and the resort municipality, events held in Whistler, land management, culture and public art, ecology, resort development, the environment, transportation, heritage, schools, architecture, sustainability, and municipal politics.

59-page Whistler Bicycle Network Plan, second draft, prepared for the Resort Municipality of Whistler by the Whistler Cycling Committee in March 2002.
