There is a quaint covered wooden footbridge (bicycles and horses too) over the Arn Canal. Later, more recent developments at the beginning of town like Portage Station, Winchester and the Pemberton Gateway Village Suites Building (with nostalgic Red Clock Tower) were all required to build covered porches that shade the summer sun but let the winter sun right in. New modernized traditional style structures include the aforementioned, Pemberton Valley Lodge, and the new post and beam Pemberton Barn that houses the Friday Farmers Market (June to Canadian Thanksgiving). The modern Public Library and Pemberton Community Centre have a covered walkround on three sides. See Pemberton Meadows Crops: seed-potatoes Pemberton is an important agricultural community famous for producing seed potatoes, and diversifying into market gardening including potatoes for eating and potatoes for making Vodka, cranberries, food products and food/farm events. The main seed potato producers are located along the Pemberton Meadows Road, many of whom have been there for generations. Agri-tourism is a growing trend and popularized by Slow Food Cycle Sunday down Pemberton Meadows. 2014 was the 10th anniversary of the event. Organic farming is also a growth area, initiated by Across The Creek Organics, and the Helmer Farm followed soon after by many small CSA/Farmers market farms. The Pemberton Farmers Institute is a body representing local agricultural affairs. Pemberton is vital to the local food security of the Sea To Sky corridor, North America and the world at large. In its seed potato growing capacity Pemberton is important continent-wide and the breeding work is important worldwide to global food security. Whether somebody eats a baked potato at home or in a fast food restaurant as fries, the chances are high it was grown from a seed potato grown from a Pemberton-grown seed potato first. A recent development is the planting of hops for making beer. The Pemberton Valley is growing the first Canadian patented and trademarked hop by the Canadian Food & Inspection Agency: "Sasquatch". Hops Connect has built a small plant, in the Pemberton Industrial Park, to pelletize hops for the brewing industry. Another recent development, also at the Pemberton Industrial Park, is a legal licensed medical marijuana grow operation, by Whistler Medical Marijuana Corporation, with plans to expand to recreational product too, when marijuana is fully legalized in 2018. The Pemberton Regional Airport (CYPS) has over 400 landings a year with most of the volume occurring in August.
