School & Cabin Construction June-Dec
See the progress made with the Pemberton Station School & Arn Cabin project from June to December 2021. This project was made possible thanks to funding from Heritage Canada, Heritage BC and the Province of BC, Squamish Lillooet Regional District, Village of Pemberton, the Enabling Accessibility Fund, Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, Pemberton Women’s Institute and the Citizens of Pemberton.
Thanks to McLeod Building Works for bringing these buildings to life at the museum. Special thanks to Ian McLeod and Dwayne Dick for providing the peeled poles for the roof, and to Ian for all the milled timber.
Thanks to Isabel & Kaitlyn for the great videos documenting the construction progress through 2021.
