Where and What is The Whistler?
The Whistler is a mini, vibrant and colourful area,located in North Vancouver (City in Canada), Canada. The area is filled up with two mountains and a vibrant town.The Whistler is surrounded by a staggering amount, of snow that has been recently used for alpine skiing and mountain riding. The Whistler is a very colourful and a eye-popping place because the lights The Whistler portrays, pops up during the evening. We both believe The Whistler, has to be listed on the Worlds Best Modern Landmark because this town to us is very unique in its colour and relaxing, as the snow would brush past people who comes across this place. Another reason why Herman and I believe this landmark must belong to the Worlds Heritage Site is because The Whistler is something different and something unique that other landmarks don't possess in terms of form and texture that is within and around The Whistler.
This is the Winter Olympic Sign.

Most of the time, tourists would usually come down to experience mountain riding and alpine skiing. But none of this would occur without these two giant mountains.

Faunas that exist on The Whistler
There are a range of Faunas that exist in The Whistler, that includes bears, cougars, deers and birds. But the Fauna Herman and I chose to focus on is the bear. During Winter, the bears come down to the villages, to get food for their habitation and breeding season to develop their new, born cubs. The village contains bear-proof bins so they can't get the food scraps left by people's rubbish. Bears only come down to the villages, only if they sense food. So that's why you can't really see a bear nowadays.

Why should it be in the Heritage Site?
It must be in the Heritage Site because of the exceptional good environment and the honourable look of the environment. This is one all of the places that is good for all seasons. If you look at the mountains at a good place, it will be spectacular to see the formidable mountains.
