Partnership

The Partnership Strategy addresses partnerships and how partner organizations work together to achieve Whistler’s vision as well as the complementary objectives of those partners. It is about ensuring that the necessary partnerships are in place and that these are built on strong relationships and a commonly held vision. This strategy works toward collaboration among Whistler stakeholders to achieve the resort community’s vision. It includes the principles and practices that help to create stronger, more effective partner organizations, but does not outline the specific roles and responsibilities of each partner organization.

Introduction

Since its inception, Whistler has been built on strong partnerships and a clear, shared vision for the resort community. These elements of success are as important to Whistler now and in the future as they were when Whistler was just a dream. Achieving Whistler’s vision for 2020 depends on effective collaboration among many partners and stakeholders, both within and outside of the community. Establishing and strengthening trust-based and collaborative relationships, clear agreements and meaningful engagement helps to solidify partnerships and create an environment where objectives can be achieved in a way that is mutually beneficial to those involved.
