Delivery of Municipal Services
he 2010 Winter Games provide Whistler with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase our resort to an unprecedented number of guests, including thousands of athletes, spectators, international media – and a worldwide TV audience of three billion viewers.
The municipality already provides services that contribute to a vibrant, functional and well-maintained resort community for residents and two million guests annually. These municipal services enrich community life and enable the resort to provide a positive guest experience, thereby contributing to Whistler's reputation as a world-class destination.
To fully capitalize on the unparalleled opportunity provided by the Games, the delivery of municipal services must be enhanced and coordinated with Games-time functions to ensure an extraordinary resort experience.
To this end, all municipal departments are involved in planning and delivering enhanced services:
- Resort Experience is developing a “Look and Feel” program with banners and signage using the “Look of the Games” as well as lighting and other Village enhancements.
- In collaboration with the local RCMP, the Integrated Security Unit will develop and implement
a Games-time policing plan to maintain public safety and security - .Legislative Services and the Communications department are working with partners in-resort and externally – including VANOC, the federal and provincial governments, the Canadian Olympic Committee, and the Canadian Paralympic Committee – to host national and international dignitaries.
- The Environmental Services department is working with VANOC to develop transportation plans.
