Nominations to run for Whistler council are open from now until Sept. 9. Historically, many of the successful candidates for Whistler council have been of an... older generation. Given the persistent challenges facing our town, from housing affordability to our inability to hit climate targets, I would love to see some younger faces and fresh ideas at the table.
The spirit of our town relies on cold winters, so we should be a climate leader rather than a climate laggard. I know there are young people in this town with the passion and inspiration to make it happen. Whoever steps up to take on the role of Whistler councillor will receive a $49,000 pay package with benefits for what is technically a “part-time” position—a remuneration package intended to allow you to do the job we need you to do.
