The Resort Municipality of Whistler’s (RMOW) building, planning and infrastructure services departments are once again welcoming in-person visits at municipal hall.
Closed since March 2020 due to the pandemic, the departments re-opened on Dec. 13, and will initially be open 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. before expanding to municipal hall hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) on Jan. 4.
Visitors are required to wear a mask, practice physical distancing and use hand sanitizer when they enter the building, but proof of vaccination is not required.
Visitors to the planning department will also notice some changes, as the RMOW began improvements to the reception area and office spaces in September.
“Over the years the planning department has been renovated numerous times resulting in an inefficient layout and an inability for staff to actively engage with one another,” the RMOW said in a release.
“The new format is open floor plan and will facilitate better collaboration and discussion amongst the entire team while maximizing the available space within municipal facilities.”
