COMMUNITY MONITORING
WHAT IS COMMUNITY MONITORING?
The monitoring program provides a number of benefits and essential functions, including:
- Tracking progress toward (or away from) Whistler’s vision – allowing the community to celebrate and build on successful programs, and to correct its course when necessary.
- Ensuring transparency and accountability to stakeholders – reporting ensures transparency to community members and other Whistler stakeholders.
- Educating and engaging Whistler businesses, residents and visitors – providing meaningful and timely information in an engaging way helps to illustrate connections between policy, actions and community health.
Community Monitoring indicators are categorised under the four pillars of the community vision established within the RMOW's Official Community Plan:
