NOTICES
Fire
Whistler’s fire danger rating is currently rated as “High.” The fire ban remains in effect as we are still experiencing very dry forest conditions. No fires or residential campfires are allowed in Whistler at any level of fire danger rating including low and moderate. Details here.
GETTING AROUND

Whistler is now on the fall schedule. Get the details on service changes.
To mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Saturday, September 30, there will be free transit in Whistler.
