The Resort Municipality of Whistler lawyers settled in the case of Cuttler and Barrett (see Pique, Nov. 27, 2024: “RMOW agrees to pay $95K over bike crash lawsuit”).
The last two years have been an absolute nightmare for myself and my family, and I am so grateful to the lawyers and many friends who stepped in to support us in this very dark time in my life.
I have had too many sleepless nights and even now cannot get my brain to stop replaying this event.
But as we start the new year, I just wanted to reflect on the power of kindness and to thank those of you who called, stopped in to see us and just quietly kept us going.
To our family, Mark Hart, Geri Sanson—thank you.
To all our neighbours—for just being the backbone we needed.
Thanks to the legal teams—Whistler lawyer, Greg Diamond, and then to Geoff Plant and the amazing partners and staff of Gall Legge Grant Zwack LLP (GLGZ), who took on my case after being contacted by a very special local family.
Doria and Jim Moodie, my world today is a better place because of you and others who stepped in to help.
So many people worked on this case—a special thanks to Liam Babbit, and then to the extraordinary team from GLGZ, who finally got this case resolved—Renee Gagnon and Trevor Duncan, your energy and sense of justice is something I will treasure as a good part of this horrible journey.
To the Whistler Naturalists—Bob, Kristina, Dea, Victor and everyone else—to my Mount Currie friends and especially to Chief Dean Nelson—your support meant so much to me.
THANK YOU!
Words simply are not effective to convey the depth of our gratitude to each of you.
A final thanks to the Pique staff—for your work and the many articles you write to educate and share information on how we can step up to support and protect the western toad migrations at Lost Lake.
Sadly, I fear I failed them, and they are the biggest losers in this affair!
Wishing you all a happy holiday and a great 2025.
With grateful thanks,
