Whistler resident status confirmation
We value all our customers in Whistler equally.
To ensure that the correct fees are paid for swim lessons and registered fitness programs, part of the registration process includes verifying your residency. Our recreation department prioritizes these programs for Whistler taxpayers and charges non-residents a different rate for our facility upkeep. The additional fees are used for maintenance and investment to keep recreation in our town as safe and affordable as possible for all customers, residents and non-residents. Whistler residents, who fall within the town’s tax base, are also given access to advanced registration; spaces remaining then open to those who live in other Sea to Sky communities.
Whistler resident confirmation process:
- Those who register for Spring 2026 swim lessons and registered fitness programs must confirm their Whistler residency before Tuesday, March 31.
- Confirmed accounts will be updated in the system as residents.
- Unconfirmed accounts will be charged the difference between resident and non-resident rates for the Spring 2026 lesson set and updated in the system as non-residents.
- Those with addresses in Black Tusk Village, Pinecrest and Wedgewoods are non-residents since they pay their property taxes to the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District.
Confirmation documents:
Whistler residency must be confirmed at Meadow Park Sports Centre in person. We cannot accept documentation by e-mail and will perform a visual check in person for privacy reasons.
Acceptable proof of residency must be current and include your full name and Whistler address. Please provide one document from each section:
Section 1 – Photo ID with Address:
- BC Driver’s Licence
- BC Identification
Section 2 – Proof of Residency:
- Current Property Tax Notice
- Current Lease Agreement
- Most Recent BC Hydro or Phone Bill
The RMOW may also conduct additional checks to confirm residency as required.
Thank you for confirming your address and contributing to the accuracy of our records and the upkeep of our services.

Cancellations and refunds
- For Kids on the Go and summer camp registrations a full calendar months’ notice is required for cancellations to give us time to inform families on the waitlist (i.e. for any October cancellations you need to inform us in writing at kotg@whistler.ca by August 31). The summer camp 25 per cent deposit isn’t refundable. For Kids on the Go, a $5 per day withdrawal fee is applied to all cancellations. Trading, switching or swapping days isn’t permitted. For more information please email kotg@whistler.ca or call 604-935-8370.
- A minimum number of participants are required to recover costs for recreation programs, and programs can be cancelled if people wait until the last minute to register. Avoid disappointment – register early.
- Programs with insufficient registration will be cancelled up to seven days prior to the start date, and the RMOW will issue a full refund.
- If an individual cancels from a program seven days or more prior to the start of a program, a full refund, minus a $25 administration fee, will be provided (this does not apply to Kids on the Go or summer camp registrations). No refunds will be issued after this period. In medical cases, refunds are pro-rated and a doctor’s note is required.Registration Service Agreements
The Resort Municipality of Whistler has partnered with various organizations that provide quality specialty programs that we cannot offer ourselves. These organizations are responsible for the delivery of the program and can be recognized in the program descriptions by their organizational logo or “RSA” beside the program name.
If you have any questions about establishing a Registration Service Agreement with the RMOW, please contact the Program Services Supervisor at 604-935-8368.
