Mount Currie, British Columbia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Currie is small community in British Columbia, 164 kilometres north-west of Vancouver and 40 kilometres north-west of Whistler along Provincial Highway 99.
The population of Mount Currie is about 1,400 and it is the centre of the Mount Currie Indian reserve, which is among the most populous - and poorest - of all Indian Reserves in Canada.[citation needed] The area is traditional territory of the Lil'Wat First Nation of the Lillooet Tribal Council.
Although it is fairly close to Whistler, the community is not much reliant on the tourist industry. Most tourist industry in Mount Currie comes from outdoor activities in the nearby Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, the Birkenhead River or the Skookumchuck Hot Springs.
