RESORT TV NETWORK - PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITY

Would you like to see our town of Pemberton get some TV exposure in Whistler?

Resort TV Network has approached one of their producers with the idea of creating a show about Pemberton and are willing to donate up to 5 minutes of airtime for free. Producing the show will be Lisa Fernandez who is one of our local residents and Chamber Member through La Hacienda Bed and Breakfast. The Pemberton Chamber of Commerce along with Tourism Pemberton would like to extend their support for this project to help bring some positive exposure to our town and all that we have to offer.

Lisa is seeking to cover the cost of production through a variety of sponsorship options available to our local businesses. Members who are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact:
