The Mayor’s Task Force on Resident Housing was a Select Committee of Council of local stakeholder organizations and community representatives–each in a unique position to contribute to the understanding, evaluation, planning and implementation of Whistler’s resident housing actions.
The Task Force was initiated in November 2016, following the adoption of the Terms of Reference on October 18, 2016, with the objective to analyze Whistler’s employee housing needs and make informed recommendations to Council for specific initiatives to pursue. The Task Force engaged in an extensive process convening six times, in addition to a number of sub-committee working groups. Significant research was conducted, and the resort community provided input through a community survey on housing needs, culminating in a set of recommended actions from the Task Force.
