• Second Whistler stabbing on notorious May long weekend

Whistler RCMP said they made several arrests "within minutes" of the stabbing, due to increased police presence over the May long weekend.

The BC Coroners Service and Integrated Homicide Investigation team are now investigating.

The following night, in an unrelated incident, another 19-year-old man from the Lower Mainland was also stabbed in Whistler, near midnight.

Whistler RCMP is investigating that incident, and asking for the public's help with any information.
