The Whistler Podcast is back! After two years of Mayor Jack Crompton and Mountain FM’s Cole Stefiuk exploring the heart of our mountain community’s pressing issues, we are ready to roll out our third season.
Stefiuk has moved on from Whistler, and we want to thank him for the time he spent with us helping to bring these important conversations to life.
For Season Three, Mayor Crompton will once again be hosting change and policymakers, influencers, and those with boots on the ground who are tackling the issues shaping our resort today.
In this episode, Fire Chief Thomas Doherty sheds light on Whistler’s proactive measures in wildfire preparedness. Join us as they discuss the town’s comprehensive strategies and the vital role residents play in safeguarding our environment.
From innovative initiatives to practical tips, discover how Whistler is gearing up to respond to wildfires and learn how you can contribute to our collective resilience. Tune in for insights, advice, and a deeper understanding of our commitment to protecting Whistler.
