Whistler’s Community-Driven Data Program
Whistler’s Vital Signs uses local knowledge to measure the vitality of our community and support action.
Local data gathered through the program is used to support evidence-based, locally relevant solutions to improve the quality of life at the community level.
Whistler’s Vital Signs aims to inspire civic engagement, to provide focus for public debate, and to help a range of actors take action and direct resources where they will have the greatest impact.

Locally Relevant Solutions Through a Global Looking Glass

Yes, there is poverty in Whistler, but we as individuals and as a collective community have the power to help change that.
