Services

The Whistler Centre for Sustainability provides innovative community sustainability planning services focusing on small to medium sized communities and specializing in those with a tourism-based economy or a tourism focus.

 Our expertise in the niche areas of community and tourism sustainability emerges largely from our reputation and experience developing Whistler2020 - Whistler's integrated community sustainability plan, and Whistler's status as a premier destination resort community. This expertise has enabled us to provide consulting services to a number of communities and tourism enterprises in BC and Canada, providing clients with the strategic sustainability services and learning opportunities necessary for them to create and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace and to contribute to a sustainable future.

We offer services specialized for local governments in:

• Integrated community sustainability planning
• Energy and emissions management: measurement, conservation and investment analysis, planning and reduction strategies
• Development of key sustainability performance indicators, including monitoring and reporting  tools
• Proven community engagement practices
• On-the-ground implementation strategies, tools and support
• Help with developing applications for federal gas tax funding
• Tours and training sessions for staff, connecting with experienced municipal counterparts in Whistler
  

What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do. --John Ruskin
