Cultural Journey: In partnership with the Ministry of Transport, the two Nations are re-designing highway signage along the Sea-to-Sky Corridor to incorporate First Nations art and culture. Paddle shaped signs will signal stops of historic and cultural significance. Scenic stops will emphasize the link between landscape and mythology and help visitors understand and appreciate our cultures and our history in the territory.
