Whistlerites meet with municipal staff and council at the Dec.1 budget open house.

Whistler is receiving $4,962,000 from the provincial government’s B.C. Growing Communities Fund. What a bonus for the muni! And then this: Municipal revenues came in seven-per-cent higher than what was budgeted for 2022 at municipal hall. Well, I say, excellent. Great work by everyone who works for the muni. Thank you.

The cash infusion from the province is a one-off and was not in the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) budget. The RMOW over-achieved revenues. To what extent may we expect to see our taxes reduced, or some kind of rebate made to taxpayers please?
