Ted Battiston, Strategic Energy & Emissions Manager

As the WCS' Energy & Emissions Manager, Ted is responsible for developing and managing an energy and emissions reduction program for the community of Whistler, as well as using his expertise to provide assistance to tourism-based enterprises and other municipalities in Canada and beyond.

Prior to Ted's position at the WCS, Ted worked for the Resort Municipality of Whistler on issues related to sustainability, public engagement and environmental management. At the RMOW, he and his team produced and managed the award-winning Whistler2020 sustainability plan, and facilitated the associated community action planning process for the last five years. He also directed his attention toward internal municipal policies and practices. With a focus on energy and greenhouse gas emissions issues, Ted has collaborated with the Province, the Union of BC Municipalities, and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities on local government responses to the challenges of climate change generally, and to greenhouse gas inventories in particular. Ted is an avid skier and cyclist and is usually found on the mountains and trails around Whistler when not immersed in energy and emissions issues.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
