Message from Mayor Jack Crompton

Welcome to the Whistler Sessions scenarios.

The four scenarios you are about to read are meant to be a catalyst for discussion. They are intended to ask questions of ourselves, policies, development and community priorities. Not one of these scenarios are idyllic or preferred, nor can they be influenced or lead by one entity.

I invite you to use these scenarios creatively; host a discussion night with friends, write a short story or contemplate how the scenarios may influence your day-to-day.

The four scenarios were conceived by a group of extremely dedicated citizens including residents, businesses owners, non-profits and youth from within the Sea to Sky Corridor. I want to extend my deepest appreciation and admiration for these individuals who missed work, extracurricular activities and time with the friends and families to deliver this work. At times, it was a hard and emotional process. But the relationships built and the outcome of our work was extremely rewarding. Although the scenarios have been completed, our work continues. I look forward to sharing how the RMOW will be incorporating the scenarios into our planning, and how others in the community are utilizing them.

I am thrilled to present the Whistler Sessions work to you. I hope they inspire, motivate and evoke a sense of curiosity of what’s to come and how we may work together to shape our shared future in Whistler.
