On Zoom: in light of the latest mandates, we will host this event on Zoom.

The pandemic changed everything. And we know that inequities across Whistler were highlighted alongside mental and physical health needs and the long-term suitability of Whistler for aging well.

On September 22, a panel of local experts will share what they know about pandemic-related pressures on seniors living, working and playingin Whistler.

Later, participants will move to facilitated breakout room discussions for the opportunity to make connections and engage in conversations that have the potential change the outlook for seniors living in and moving into the Whistler area.

The Vital Cafe panel was chosen to help inform participants on key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): # 3 Good Health and Well-Being, #10 Reduced Inequities and #11 Sustainable Communities and Cities . The panel of local experts includes:

Kathy White, Mature Action Committee Chair
Cathy Jewett, Municipal Councilor

Thank you to our sponsors for making this important conversation possible in the midst of a pandemic.

Vital Signs 2021

The Vital Signs volunteer committee is actively collecting data for the 2021 Vital Signs report.

Sustainable Development Goals

Whistler Community Foundation strives to help our local communities reach targets defined by the Sustainable Development Goals.
