COPYWRITING FOR TOURISM WHISTLER
Before we celebrate this milestone, let’s go back to the beginning.
The RMOW was born in 1975 and made its first bold move politically: by becoming the first designated resort municipality in Canada. At the time of incorporation, fewer than 1,000 people lived in Whistler. Whistler might have just been a small town, with a quirky “resort municipality” title, but the community had vision. The new council worked with the provincial government, and started planning what would eventually become Whistler Village.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS - VILLAGE OF LYTTON
JULY 2021 - EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
In July of 2021, the Village of Lytton suffered a disastrous fire, destroying most of the town and the village office itself. I worked with an adhoc emergency team in the first weeks of the disaster to bring communications and briefs to residents displaced by the fire. This important and meaningful work involved daily Emergency Operations briefings and news bulletins, letting officials and residents know updates on recovery efforts.

GETTING TO THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
PEMBERTON VISITOR GUIDE
PUBLISHED SPRING 2012
if you are planning to explore Pemberton’s trails, leave your headphones at home. Aside from the song of a few birds and the crunch of leaves under your feet, you will find stillness. It’s the type of “middle of nowhere” experience that money can’t buy.
“The trails in Pemberton offer a remote feeling you don’t find on Whistler’s hiking trails,” said Andrea Devries of the Whistler Alpine Guides Bureau. “You simply don’t see civilization.”
