Jen Ford is serving a second term as municipal councillor in Whistler and serving, as elected by her peers, as Chair to the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District.

For that reason, she is committed to continued advocacy for actionable solutions in these areas.
For 30 years I’ve called Whistler home, moving here -from Quebec- in 1991 to teach skiing. If you’re doing the math, I’ve been a washed-up ski instructor for at least a decade. Truth is I’ve never been the best skier on the mountain, but I do have awesome style.

Vote LADNER for a Skiable Future
As an avid mountain biker and skier, Curtis enjoys Whistler as his home! Whistler is a great place to live, but the town does face some challenges. A shortage of affordable employee housing is one of the biggest. Other challenges include replacing aging infrastructure while keeping property tax increases relatively low, preserving our environment, optimizing transit usage and streamlining processes at muni hall to make it easier for people to build homes, start businesses, etc.
I moved to Whistler in 2015 and started the region’s only after-hours veterinary emergency clinic, Twin Trees Vet. Due to the escalating housing crisis, it is no longer feasible to offer emergency services in Whistler.
I’m running for community. Whistler is unique, safe, and imbedded in nature – we need to keep it that way. I represent the smaller voices – small business, nature, and community supporters.
Jessie Morden is running for municipal council to be a voice for the next generation of Whisterites. As a born and raised local who is growing her family in the community, Jessie is committed to finding long term solutions to the most pressing issues for families trying to make Whistler their home - housing, transportation and affordability. 
Jeff Murl is running for Whistler Municipal Council for the second time. Since his first run in 2018, when he earned 22% of the vote, Jeff has dedicated himself to serving the Whistler community, volunteering on several boards and committees.
I have always loved and enjoyed what Whistler has to offer residents, second homeowners and visitors alike. This election I am ready to step up and play a role in helping Whistler grow and mature sustainably for the benefit of all.
Whistler is growing too fast. Over recent years, unconstrained development has impacted the environment, the visitor experience, and our sense of community. As we approach a crucial stage in the climate crisis (and investigate a potential Olympic bid), Whistler needs a Council that will promote responsible growth and protect our natural assets. Dawn Titus believes we cannot sell out our future for short-term gain.
A retired university professor with experience in both public and private education. Deb’s professional roles include: program and board development, faculty management, marketing, fund-raising, PR, and teaching. 
I am thankful and humble to have had the pleasure of serving on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Sḵwxwú7mesh, U̒xwumixw and St ̍át ̍y ̍emc Nations as a School Board Trustee over the past four years. The responsibility to govern effectively is paramount. I’m committed to ensuring that strong policies are in place that will allow the children entrusted to us to become the educated citizens of tomorrow. Two and a half years of COVID measures leaves us with much work to be done. Providing for the educational and socio-emotional needs for all staff and students is top of mind. Each decision I make will reflect this and the values, priorities, and expectations of the local communities. Reconciliation, inclusion, and diversity are vital to everyone. My door is always open as dialogue with the public is the most important tool we have for improving public education for all.
I’m honoured to have served three terms as a current Whistler school trustee and privileged to serve on the unceded, ancestral territories of the Sḵwxwú7mesh, U̒xwumixw and St ̍át ̍y ̍emc Nations.
