national support, including from the Assembly of First Nations, KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiative and Naomi Klein. In 2003, the Special Rapporteur of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights visited the Skwelkwek'welt Protection Centre. Additionally, there were solidarity protests held in Germany. Recent expansions On December 23, 2018, the new Orient fixed-grip quad chairlift opened adjacent to the Morrisey Express, greatly improving ski-back access from the Morrisey side of the resort and providing ski-in-ski-out access for hundreds of homes in the East Village, as well as opening up large possibilities for future expansion. In the summer of 2020, a replacement for the 41-year-old Crystal three-person chair was built and was operational for the 2020–21 ski season. The new Crystal Quad boasts a 20% uphill capacity increase, and follows a slightly different line to the original Crystal, providing access to the Top Of The World from the Crystal chair, as opposed to solely from the Burfield. After being "temporarily" disused for the 2020–21 season, the West Bowl T-Bar's official retirement was announced prior to the beginning of the 2021–22 ski season. In early 2022, Sun Peaks Resort started the application process for a new detachable (express) chairlift in the West Bowl. Over the summer of 2022, the entire lift line was cut, the bases for the bottom and top terminals were built, and substantial logging and run cutting went on below the current West Bowl skiing area. In addition, a new road was built from the future top terminal site to connect to 5 Mile and the rest of the mountain. Construction on the chairlift is expected to take place primarily over the summers of 2023 and 2024, and the 1.58 km (1 mi) chairlift is expected to be open for the 2024-25 ski season. The Burfield chair is the longest fixed grip chairlift in North America, and is the 9th longest in travel length (. Nancy Greene Raine is the Director of Skiing at the resort.
