Mayor’s
Message
Preschool
& Children’s Programs
“Stay active
this season!”
Welcome
Welcome to the Resort Municipality of Whistler’s (RMOW)
Recreation Program Guide. We are fortunate to live in
Whistler, an active community with a wide variety of
recreational opportunities. The fall is a beautiful time in
our community, with fresh mountain air, crystal clear lakes,
beautiful fall colours and abundant activities such as worldclass golf, hiking and mountain biking.
This fall/winter guide provides a wide range of activities for
all interests, ages and abilities. From preschool programming
to tai chi, swimming, skating, squash, cross-country skiing,
and hockey, there is something for everyone.
One of the things that drew me to Whistler was the yearround recreational opportunities. In the fall and winter, I run
and walk with our dog frequently through the Emerald Forest
to the Valley Trail and on to Rainbow Park. Early fall hikes
with friends and family along the Flank Trail are a personal
favourite.
Whistler features two majestic mountains for epic winter skiing
and snowboarding; cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails;
and an outdoor skating rink located right in the heart of the
Village. In the winter, I personally enjoy downhill and crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing and an occasional spin on the new
ice sheet in Whistler Olympic Plaza.
I encourage you to get outdoors and explore the Lost Lake
cross-country trails and experience winter in Whistler from
an entirely different perspective. With approximately 25
kilometres of groomed and track set trails, maintained by the
municipality, Lost Lake offers incredible views of Whistler
and Blackcomb Mountains. Enjoy the new amenities with
family and friends at the Lost Lake PassivHaus and have fun
on the trails!
If you’re looking for a quick outdoor activity right in the
heart of the Village, why not rent some skates and hit the ice
at Whistler Olympic Plaza? In 2011, the RMOW transformed
part of Whistler Olympic Plaza’s Great Lawn and Pavilion
into a skating amenity for the winter season. Visitors and
residents loved it and in 2011, we welcomed close to 15,000
skaters to the plaza.
If you’re looking for a break from the outdoors, visit the
Meadow Park Sports Centre (MPSC), Whistler’s community
hub for sports, recreation and more. The multipurpose
facility provides residents and visitors with a services and
amenities including fitness programs, swimming lessons,
public skating, a six-lane pool, kids’ pool, sauna, steam room
and hot tub. The facility also houses an arena, squash courts,
weight room, and a fitness studio.
After thirty-nine years of living in Whistler, I continue to be
grateful for all the great things there are to do here.
Stay active this season and I’ll see you on the trails!

Flexreg
Flexreg (flexible registration) is an option that allows you
to register for specific days of a program that are most
convenient for you. Prior registration is required as we need
to meet minimum numbers to run the program. Flexreg
programs can be identified by the word Flex beside the
program title. Flexreg programs are NOT available on-line.
Registration Service Agreements
The Resort Municipality of Whistler has chosen to
partner with various organizations who provide quality
speciality programs that we can not offer ourselves. These
organizations are responsible for the delivery of the program
and can be recognized in the program descriptions by their
organizational logo or RSA beside the program name. If you
have any questions about this procedure please contact the
Program Services Supervisor at 604-935-8369.
Program Discounts
Program discounts apply for the corresponding pass holder: 5%
off for a 3 month pass, 10% off for a 6 month pass, and 15% off
for an annual pass holder. The pass must be valid at the time
of program registration. Full registration for Flexreg programs
is mandatory for pass holder discounts to apply. Pass holder
discounts do not apply to Preschool, Children, Aquatic or
Registration Service Agreement programs.
Cancellations & Refunds
NEW
Sometimes our programs are cancelled when you wait until
the last minute to register. Our programs are cost recovery
based and we require a minimum number of participants in
each course. Avoid disappointment – register early. Don’t wait!
Programs with insufficient registration will be cancelled up to
seven days prior to the start date, in which case, full refunds will
be granted. If an individual cancels from a program seven days
or more prior to the start of a program, a full refund, less a $20
administration fee, will be granted. No refunds will be issued
after this period. In medical cases, refunds are pro-rated and a
doctor’s note is required.

Grade 5/10 Program
We are pleased to announce the continuation of our
Grade 5/10 Get Active Program. This program provides a
free membership to the Meadow Park Sports Centre for all
Whistler Grade 5 and 10 students from September 30, 2012 until
September 29, 2013. Research shows that allowing youth to make
their own social recreation choices, they form healthy lifestyle
habits that last into adulthood. By offering free admission to
Meadow Park Sports Centre, more young people are able to
participate in recreational activities which will support the trend
towards active living while addressing the issue of affordability.

Most of all, play should be fun!”

airway and breathing obstructions, reach
assists and stride entry. Swimming endurance is
increased to a 150m swim.
RCSK 8 This level is an introduction to breast stroke
(15m) and feet-first surface dives. Swimmers learn
about the dangers of open water, hypothermia,
the performance of rescue breathing on children
and adults, and standing shallow dives. Swimmers
participate in timed treading water activities using
the eggbeater skill for 3 minutes to improve their
ability to remain at the surface in the event of an
unexpected fall into water. Endurance is built on a
300m swim. Front crawl and back crawl distances
are increased to 75m each.
