We’ve got a busy month coming up in June with events and summer programming starting up!
Join us on Wednesday, June 12 for our final Speaker Series of the season with Al Raine and Drew Meredith. We’ll be talking all about the origins and early years of the Whistler Resort Association and marketing Whistler through some tricky economic times. This event will take place at the Whistler Public Library; tickets will be on sale at the Whistler Museum from Tuesday, May 21.
Tickets are currently on sale for our second Film Night, Skiing with Jim McConkey. Thanks to the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation, we’ve been able to digitize many of the 16mm films in our archives and in June we’ll be sharing from the Jim McConkey Collection, followed by a discussion with Jim McConkey himself, facilitated by Mike Douglas.
This event will take place at the Maury Young Arts Centre on Saturday, June 15. Tickets are available through Arts Whistler here. *If you are a Whistler Museum Member but did not receive an email with a Member Discount Code, please reach out to us.
Our daily Valley of Dreams Walking Tours will kick off June 1 and will run through September 29. These tours are a great way to learn more about Whistler’s resort history and are run by donation.
Don’t forget to join us for our AGM at 6pm on Wednesday, June 19 (directly following the Inside Scoop summer trade show)! Everyone is welcome, though only current members are able to vote, so be sure to check if you’re unsure about the status of your membership. You’ll also get a sneak peek of our next temporary exhibit that features a favourite two-wheeled sport.
