Welcome, Concierge & Front Line Staff

COVID-19 Is Not on Vacation

We encourage all front line staff to familiarize yourselves with new COVID-19 guidelines and practices so that you can actively share information with guests on how to safely experience Whistler. This includes encouraging physical distancing in public places such as the Village Stroll and in public parks (keeping 2m from other parties), avoiding gatherings, and adhering to safety protocols put in place by Vancouver Coastal Health within local businesses.
