Letter: New location for Art on the Lake questioned

'The previous location for the festival was perfect in every way...'

Art on the Lake features live bands, art, and performance across two days on and around Alta Lake.

I have a question for Mo Douglas and the Arts Whistler Team about the new location for Art on the Lake. Who is it more accessible for? As a former resident of Whistler and frequent attendee at this fabulous festival it is hard for me to imagine how hundreds of people with paddle boards, canoes and kayaks are going to get their equipment to Lost Lake to enjoy the goings on from the water. There is no parking anywhere near Lost Lake and shuttling to the area with a paddle board feels like an enormous undertaking.

The previous location for the festival was perfect in every way and this change feels like it fixing something that’s not broken. So why bother? It should be returned to Alta Lake.
