Earth Week: Our Power, Our Planet
Join us for an inspiring evening dedicated to the future of our local environment and the collective steps we can take toward a more resilient Whistler. This event brings together community leaders, climate experts, and passionate locals for a deep dive into the “Our Power” initiative.
The evening will feature engaging storytelling and data-driven discussions focused on accelerating our transition to renewable energy and reducing our community’s carbon footprint. Whether you are curious about local climate policy or looking for tangible ways to champion mountain stewardship in your own backyard, this session offers a collaborative space to learn, share ideas, and connect with the people driving environmental change in our valley.
