Imagine a place in nature that recognizes our existence in the natural world everyday. The VLPT & World Eco-Centre is the place. This centre proposed for Whistler, comprised of two components, will be a continuous international attraction for Whistler, British Columbia.

The Very Large People's Telescope (VLPT) will be the world's largest visual telescope and will be located in Whistler, B.C. The VLPT will show the night sky to people like no other telescope on the planet. Starlight gathered by the telescope's massive three-metre mirror will be seen directly by the human eye. Adaptive optics will produce a view only seen by electronic imaging cameras used by professional astronomers in the past until now.

The powerful light-gathering ability of the huge 6.5 metre diameter mirror will show the night sky in unprecedented detail, bringing people back again and again to treat their eyes to deep sky wonders.

Once the VLPT is up and running it will be a self-sustaining, year-round operation. The stars are always there.

The World Eco-Centre is the facility that embraces the concept of recognizing our celestial and terrestrial worlds. The centre is a place for all people of the world to meet, learn and promote a positive outlook about our coexistence on planet Earth.

The VLPT & World Eco-Centre is the sustainable, world-class attraction that will benefit the community, the resort, Canada and the world. Whistler welcomes the world every day, this cutting edge mountain town should be the world centre recognizing our amazing planet.
