Advisory: Anticipated disruptions of ongoing Canada Post strike on Resort Municipality of Whistler communications 

Publication Date: November 28, 2024

November 28, 2024: Whistler, B.C. – The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) is advising residents and businesses of affected communications due to Canada Post’s ongoing strike action. Mail is not being processed or delivered for the duration of the national strike; this will delay the delivery of important documents, notices, and other correspondence typically sent or received by mail by/to the RMOW. 

Businesses and residents may experience delays in receiving:  

  • business licence renewal notices; 
  • dog licence renewal notices; 
  • parking fine reminder notices; 
  • bylaw notice fine reminder letters; and 
  • cheque payments. 

In place of the mail, the following options are available: 

  • MyWhistler: Registering to do business online at MyWhistler gives access to view business licence renewals, apply for a business licence, view account balances, and make payments for business licences, property taxes, utilities and bylaw fines. 
  • RMOW Parking System: Drivers can register for parking permits, or pay for parking tickets, through the RMOW Parking System found at whistler.ca/parking. A reminder that vehicles can be towed for unpaid parking tickets. As reminders cannot be mailed at this time, log in to the RMOW Parking System to ensure you have no unpaid tickets attached to your account. 
  • In-person: Those who prefer to do business in person can visit Municipal Hall during office hours, Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding statutory holidays. 
  • After-hours: Alternatively, in-person drop-offs can be made through the secure mail slot located at the front entrance of Municipal Hall, available 24 hours a day. 

Payment options include the following:  

  • For licence renewals, instructions for payments are available at whistler.ca/businesslicences
  • For property taxes and utilities, instructions for payments are available at whistler.ca/propertytaxes.  
  • Accounts receivable invoices can be paid by Interac e-Transfer using the RMOW’s email address finance@whistler.ca or by contacting the RMOW Finance team for Electronic Fund Transfer instructions. 
  • Bylaw fines can be paid through MyWhistler. 
  • For parking, payment is through the RMOW parking system.

The RMOW is committed to ensuring that residents and businesses continue to receive timely and effective service and communication during the strike.
