Forecasts call for strong winds as a “vigorous frontal system” moves through the area, possibly damaging buildings and causing power outages.
A separate wind warning was also issued for parts of the Howe Sound region, just north of Metro Vancouver, where gusts were expected to reach 100 km/h.
The warning area covers a number of communities located on the Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler, including Squamish, Britannia Beach and Lions Bay.
The latest warnings come just days after winds approaching 140 km/h were recorded on Vancouver Island, while a severe windstorm last weekend caused a mudslide that killed at least least one person in the Sea to Sky region.
