What the Sea to Sky Cooks Collective is Cooking Up — And How You Can Get Involved

Food cooking on an open fire.

We’re just getting started, and the next phase of the Sea to Sky Cooks Collective is about building momentum, partnerships, and community connections. This project is for the region—and it will grow stronger through collaboration with the people who shape its food and culture.

Read on to learn how you can get involved...

What’s Coming Next

1. Sea to Sky Cookbook Project

One of our cornerstone initiatives is the development of a beautifully crafted Sea to Sky Cookbook—a collection of recipes, stories, photography, and cultural threads gathered from across the region.

This book will:

• Showcase signature dishes from local chefs, makers, and home cooks

• Celebrate Indigenous, immigrant, and multi-generational culinary traditions

• Feature seasonal ingredients and farm-to-table narratives

• Highlight the artistry, land-based knowledge, and creativity behind the region’s food

'

The cookbook is envisioned as both a community celebration and a cultural artifact—something created with the region, not just about it.

1. Community Storytelling Series

We’ll begin profiling restaurants, farms, food producers, craft beverage makers, and cultural leaders across Pemberton, Whistler, and Squamish. Through interviews, photography, and short-form stories, we’ll highlight diverse voices and the creativity behind their work.

2. Artist & Maker Collaborations

Art and food are deeply intertwined in this region, and we’ll be partnering with local photographers, designers, and storytellers to build a creative visual identity that reflects the heart of the Sea to Sky.

4. Community Workshops & Pop-Up Events

We’re planning a series of small, place-based gatherings to bring people together around food, creativity, and storytelling. These events will rotate through the corridor—farms, cafés, restaurants, maker spaces, and community hubs.

How to Get Involved

We would love to hear from you. Whether you're a maker, chef, artist, grower, cultural leader, or simply passionate about local food and community, here are ways to join us:

We’re building a roster of collaborators—photographers, illustrators, videographers, writers, designers, and storytellers—interested in contributing to the project.

For Community Partners

If you have space, resources, or an idea for a collaboration—pop-ups, workshops, tastings, farm tours, cultural storytelling sessions—we’d love to explore possibilities together.
