What is an Advocacy in Action Session?
One of the Chamber’s key roles is to advocate on behalf of the Whistler business community. Our power packed Advocacy in Action Sessions presented by TD are designed for our Members to let us know where to take action.
These sessions are FREE for Members and are a great chance to discuss important issues, with the format alternating between specific focus topics and general round table discussions. Snacks and refreshments are provided.
These in-person sessions are an opportunity to speak frankly and let your Chamber know how we can make business better for you.
Spaces are limited so, please pre-register.
Join us, and learn how your voice does make a difference!

Recent Advocacy Action
Explore and learn about the Chamber’s most recent advocacy actions on behalf of the Whistler business community.
Garibaldi at Squamish
As a business organization, the WCC supports well-considered growth and intelligent investment that drives long term economic health in the Sea to Sky Corridor. Yet the proposal put forward by Garibaldi At Squamish, Inc. in its current form does not appear to support either.
BC Family Day
Moving Family Day to the 3rd Monday would cause unnecessary compression in BC destination mountain resorts which could have a negative impact on the guest experience. Avoiding a holiday overlap, however, provides British Columbians – and out-of-province guests – with better quality Family Day and vacation experiences respectively.
IOC inclusion of LGBT community
As a business community, we encourage the IOC to recall its Olympic Charter when it says it will cooperate with competent organizations and authorities in the endeavor to place sport at the service of humanity, as Russia’s anti-gay stance threatens to overshadow the games.
Proposed Antenna Siting
The Whistler Chamber is convinced the new antenna system site proposed for 7196 Lorimer Road (that will sit well above the existing tree line) will be an eyesore in a resort that prides itself on natural vistas.
