4th Annual Shop Local Give Local
By simply shopping on December 7, 2024, you will be investing in a thriving community!
How it works:
Shoppers are invited to shop or eat at participating businesses on December 7, 2024. Participating Whistler businesses will give 5% of their gross sales to the Whistler Community Foundation’s Community Fund. Together, shoppers, businesses and our team, grew the Community Fund by more than $17,000 over the last three Shop Local Give Local days. This investment was endowed (secured indefinitely), and therefore will benefit the community in perpetuity. Plus, that investment has grown since.
And in 2025, it will grant 5% of the donation’s current value back to the community. After 20 years, the money will have granted back at least $17,000 of that investment — and the remaining principle will continue to grow and produce grants aimed at future generations.
Gifts to the Community Fund support flexible granting that addresses evolving community needs by supporting charities making a present-day impact.
Personal donations to the Whistler Community Fund are also welcome. Make your online donation at whistlerfoundation.com/give or contact Claire Mozes, CEO at cmozes@whistlerfoundation.com to make sure your donation is included in the 2024 total.
Below you’ll find the 4th Annual Shop Local Give Local confirmed businesses.
We are accepting new businesses in Fall of 2024. If you’d like to see your favourite business participate, share this post with them: GIVE 5 • Whistler Community Foundation (whistlerfoundation.com) and ask them to reach out at the contact included. Logos and other marketing collateral are due mid-November.

Sushi Village
EPIC FOOD. EPIC PARTIES. EPIC HISTORY.
Three Vancouver restaurant workers developed a friendship while working together. On a whim, they decided to trek up to Whistler in the winter of 1984 to check out the skiing that they were hearing so much about.
Once they ventured up the mountain, they were hooked! The friends essentially never left Whistler after that first trip. One year later, in December of 1985, Sushi Village opened and the dream that these three friends had – to open a world-class sushi restaurant in what would become one of the most popular ski resorts in the world – came to fruition.
But the dream behind the dream was to ski every day!
