In British Columbia, Canada's Squamish-Lillooet Regional District sits the resort town of Whistler.About 125 kilometers (78 miles) north of Vancouver and 36 kilometers (22 miles) south of Pemberton, it is situated in the southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. In addition to a larger but fluctuating number of seasonal workers, it has a permanent population of about 13,982 (2021). Alpine skiing, snowboarding, and summer mountain biking at Whistler Blackcomb are the main draws for the more than two million visitors to Whistler each year. Since the mid-1990s, prominent ski magazines have ranked Whistler as one of the best places to visit in North America, and its pedestrian village has won multiple design accolades. The majority of the alpine, Nordic, luge, skeleton, and bobsled competitions at the 2010 Winter Olympics were held in Whistler. Approximately 58 kilometers (36 miles) north of Squamish and 125 kilometers (76 miles) from Vancouver, Whistler is situated on British Columbia Highway 99, popularly referred to as the ""Sea to Sky Highway."" Through Pemberton-Mount Currie to Lillooet and connections to the Trans-Canada and Cariboo Highways beyond, the roadway links Whistler to the interior of British Columbia. Only the Rocky Mountaineer, which uses Canadian National Railway tracks from North Vancouver via Whistler and Prince George, offers passenger rail service between Vancouver and Jasper at the Whistler railway station. In the Southside neighborhood, between Nita and Alpha Lakes, lies the station for tour travelers leaving Whistler. The Whistler and Valley Express offers local bus transportation service, including service to Pemberton. The Whistler Shuttle and YVR Skylynx offer a shuttle bus service from the Vancouver Airport and Downtown Vancouver.Situated 140 kilometers (87 miles) to the south, Vancouver International Airport serves as the primary international airport for both residents and visitors to Whistler. Whistler's public schools are run by the School District 48 Sea to Sky. Myrtle Phillip Elementary and Spring Creek Elementary are the two elementary schools. Whistler Secondary School is the only high school in the neighborhood. La Passerelle is the only Francophone primary school run by the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique in that city. In the summer, Whistler is renowned for its mountain biking and hiking, and in the winter, for its skiing and snowboarding. Cross-country skiing, skate skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, telemark skiing, and tobogganing are some of the other winter sports that people in Whistler love. Golfing, fishing, trail jogging, mountain biking, outdoor yoga, and hiking are among the popular summertime activities in Whistler. The four run difficulties for skiing, which is undoubtedly Whistler's major draw, are green (circle), blue (square), black (diamond), and double black (diamond). The difficulty of each run remains constant throughout the year. ""Expert only"" markers at the bottom of several chairlifts indicate that the majority of the runs available from that chair are black diamonds or double black diamonds, and there are numerous signs around the mountain that indicate the severity of the runs.

"Canada's Prince Edward Island is an island province. Despite having the highest population density, it is the province with the smallest land area and population. The island is known by a number of titles, including ""Cradle of Confederation,"" ""Garden of the Gulf,"" and ""Birthplace of Confederation.""Charlottetown is its major city and capital. Among the four Atlantic provinces, it is one of the three Maritime provinces. Approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) from both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island is situated in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is roughly 600 kilometers (370 miles) east of Quebec City and 200 kilometers (120 miles) north of Halifax. With a land size of 5,686.03 km2 (2,195.39 sq mi), it is the 23rd largest island in Canada and the 104th largest island in the world [12]. It is the only province in Canada that is made up completely of islands. The island was renamed in 1798 in honor of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn (1767–1820), the fourth son of King George III and the father of the future Queen Victoria in 1819, after it was divided from the British colony of Nova Scotia in 1769. Thus, the title ""Father of the Canadian Crown"" has been applied to Prince Edward. In the Gulf of St. Lawrence, northeast of New Brunswick, north of the Nova Scotia peninsula, and west of Cape Breton Island, sits Prince Edward Island. The Northumberland Strait borders its southern shore. With two urban regions, the island is Canada's most densely populated province overall. The climate of the island is a marine climate considered to be moderate and highly impacted by the neighboring Gulf of St. Lawrence.Because of the Gulf of St. Lawrence's warmer waters, it is typically milder than many parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.The weather is variable throughout the year, and certain weather patterns rarely persist for an extended period of time. As of December 2018, the Province of Prince Edward Island relied entirely on groundwater for its drinking water supply, with about 305 high capacity wells in operation.Groundwater is naturally filtered as it passes through an aquifer. Thirteen wells in three wellfields provide the city of Charlottetown with its water, which is then delivered to consumers. Precipitation replenishes the water that has been removed.
