I headed out around Pemberton on Easter weekend to see if our little tourist town was being over-run by tourists or not. My story for the Tyee:

The origin for this story was intense chatter on Facebook, with some people obviously very concerned about tourism, and others upset by the dramatic reactions (ie swearing, yelling...) of some people to others who they perceived (often wrongly) to be tourists. What is/was acceptable? As a local I wasn't even sure if I should be taking my kids kayaking, or going for a bike ride... the lines aren't clear.
