Village Host Program: Proudly Celebrating Over 16 Years of Community Volunteerism
The Resort Municipality of Whistler’s Village Host program is a great way to volunteer. This year Village Host is proud to be marking 16 years of assisting and sharing smiles with visitors from around the world. Village Hosts are invaluable to the visitor experience in Whistler and provide guidance, direction and genuinely kind assistance.
