Partnering for Success

Our Priorities are the five key areas around which we focus our efforts to achieve the Vision.

The spirit of cooperation and support among residents, business owners and other stakeholders flourishes in Whistler from years of working together and encouraging each other to achieve the shared vision. Whistler partners, including Tourism Whistler, the RMOW, the Chamber of Commerce, Whistler Blackcomb, One Whistler, the Whistler Housing Authority, Whistler Community Services Society, School District #48 and other learning partners, health organizations, environmental groups, as well as arts, culture and heritage organizations work together, along with First Nations, Squamish, Pemberton, the Squamish Lillooet Regional District, and provincial and federal governments and agencies, toward shared goals and mutual benefit.

The result is a stronger local resort community and a more sustainable society.

Community members and interested individuals also work together, in formal and informal networks. Local non-profit organizations are critical to Whistler’s success and are supported by an active and engaged volunteer population. Financial support is provided through Whistler’s Community Enrichment Program, which funds local initiatives that contribute to achieving Whistler’s vision of success and sustainability.

Transparent and regular communication promotes clear understanding of and alignment with stakeholder goals and interests, encourages broad public engagement, informed participation and decision-making, and builds trusting, cooperative and adaptable relationships. Whistler’s support of grassroots community groups has helped to foster a spirit of reciprocity within and outside of the resort…. download the entire Vision Document
