AWARE Releases EcoCitizen Video Aims To Help Keep Whistler Special!

Video Can Help With Training & Guest Engagement

We all love Whistler’s natural beauty, and with population growth and pressures from tourism and recreation, we need to empower every person to be good stewards of our resources, the land and wildlife.

The AWARE team has taken on this challenge. Working with other environmental groups in the community, we created a short film highlighting the most pressing enviro-messages to share with seasonal employees, front-line staff and guests. In each video soundbite, local celebs share top tips on bear safety, waste reduction, stopping the spread of invasive species, climate change, backcountry etiquette and more!

The Whistler Chamber, Whistler Blackcomb and Tourism Whistler have all committed to sharing these EcoCitizen messages broadly.  Starting in Fall 2019, the EcoCitizen Video will feature in the Whistler Experience Live Sessions, reaching hundreds of seasonal and front-line staff. All tips are designed to be spread far and wide – with colleagues, customers, guests and friends who also love Whistler!

Watch & Share – Topic Specific Social Soundbites

Want to share ecocitizen messaging on your social media channels? We’ve broken the video into short topic specific soundbites to make them easy to share. For each video we have written some key messages you can easily cut and paste. We will update these messages periodically to help you share  messages current and up to date – so keep checking back.

All videos are also available on AWARE Whistler’s Facebook if you would prefer to share that way.
