Resort Municipality of Whistler launches Budget 2013 page

PlaceSpeak is an online platform where residents, second homeowners, and business owners can find information, register for updates, discuss issues, complete a survey, and share ideas about the 2013 budget with the Finance and Audit Committee and council.

Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden said, “PlaceSpeak has been used successfully for public consultation by a number of communities and neighbourhood groups in the Lower Mainland, and we are excited to try it in Whistler as a pilot project. We hope to reach a wider audience, including our large population of second homeowners, and to receive valuable feedback on the budget and financial planning process.”

Users must register on PlaceSpeak to sign-up for notifications, add comments to discussions, and participate in the budget survey, which will be live from December 13, 2012 to January 17, 2013.
