Whistler's Doors Open Directory

Our Doors Open Directory provides information about how Whistler businesses are operating and upholding the highest of standards in health and safety for all. As we work to recover, some businesses are operating with reduced staffing, which may result in reduced capacities or hours of operation that are subject to change.

Let's Interact Considerately
  • Be patient and kind with staff who are working hard to serve you
  • Be mindful of other guests and customers
  • Respect the personal space of others

Face coverings are no longer required for indoor public settings in BC and proof of vaccination is no longer required to access non-essential events, services and businesses. While no longer a mandatory public health order, some individual businesses and organizations may continue to require proof of vaccination on their premises and these policies must be respected.
