Surveys

Provide your input to help Council and RMOW staff see community priorities, trends and concerns, as well as receive and action feedback on municipal plans and services. Your feedback is even more important this year to help identify Whistler’s key community needs as we continue our journey in pandemic recovery.

The RMOW is introducing an email sign up process for the 2021 Community Life Survey. The change looks to help ensure representation of all community demographics to garner the most detailed feedback of community life, while streamlining the process for respondents who will receive the annual survey directly to their inbox for completion.
