Description
Thank you to our presenting partner
Calling all Members - we want to hear from you!
Advocacy in action returns as the summer season is just around the corner! Join us on Thursday, June 13th for a discussion covering the shift in focus that comes with the change of seasons. These sessions are a great chance for our Members to discuss current issues and celebrate successes!
We're happy to welcome our local MLA Jordan Sturdy for this event! MLA Sturdy will give a short presentation and will take questions from the meeting attendees. This is a great chance to engage with your elected leader at the provincial level and have your questions addressed.
There is power in the network. Through regular touch points with our Members and our advocacy committee we keep our finger on the pulse, developing timely advocacy efforts that help address concerns facing Whistler’s businesses.
If you have any questions around our advocacy process or any issues you wish to elevate contact us here.
While we love to see the same faces at all our events, we also love to see as many different Members as we can across the sessions. Please note that due to capacity restrictions, those who have already attended a previous session may be declined to allow other Members to attend.
