We narrate this plea coming straight from the hearts of us locals, the everyday commuters, and global wanderers whose lives are intertwined with the unpredictable Sea to Sky corridor. Safety has become a significant concern, and a relief to this agony is long overdue. The highway is frequently invaded by bad drivers, and recurrent closures due to accidents have made life unbearable for us, our neighbours, and international travelers who visit to experience the enchanting landscapes of Canada.

The desire is simple yet vital: a train line from Vancouver to Whistler, christened the Sea to Skytrain, bypassing Squamish to keep the Vancouverites moving smoothly towards their destinations. With the remarkable tourist interest Whistler garners, it is without a doubt that the Skytrain will significantly benefit sectors like tourism and commerce. But above all, it will secure the lives of thousands by offering a safer alternative to the hazardous highway journey.

Statistics indicate the urgent need for this change. 184 people have lost their lives on the Sea-to-Sky Highway between 2004 and 2013 according to reports from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia. We must prevent such needless loss of life.

In the spirit of preserving the astonishing beauty of Vancouver and Whistler, while providing a safety net for our community, this is not merely a request, but a heartfelt plea for action. Sign the petition today, champion the cause of the Sea to Skytrain. Together, we can prioritise safety and efficiency, all while ensuring the wonders of our corner of the world remain accessible to all who wish to experience it.
