Sense of Place
Whistler’s permanent population continued to show extremely high sense of belonging, with 87% of stating a somewhat or very strong sense of belonging in Whistler. This number falls to 65% for second homeowners which is consistent with previous years and relatively strong for a demographic that doesn’t live in Whistler year-round.
Why we monitor this
‘Sense of belonging’ contributes to the development of a community’s social fabric. Social fabric depicts the strength of the relationships among people living within the same community. Often these relationships help individuals and groups in a community to organize for work, play and community development.
What this measures
This indicator measures Whistler community members’ self-reported sense of belonging to the community of Whistler and is collected in the RMOW’s annual Community Life Survey
