Soap for Hope
Aug. 14, 2018
Bryce Reynolds began his role as Program Coordinator of Soap for Hope just under a year and a half ago, after graduating from Camosun College with a degree in Human Resource Management and Leadership. During his time at Soap for Hope, he has been responsible for expanding the programs support from local hotels, rotary clubs and other organizations as well as coordinating the donation of hygiene products to over 80 local organizations. Bryce enjoys tennis, beer league slow-pitch and most things outdoors. Soap For HopeSoap for Hope is a local program that provides Hygiene Products to our local shelters in Victoria. This program works with local hotels to get used hygiene amenities (we reprocess these products to create the Hygiene Kits). Our program will be starting in Whistler and Squamish shortly so we thought it would be timely to come up and speak to your Rotary Club about this initiative |

Wednesday Aug 29 is the annual arrival of the PACE group which is a group of 6 Rotaractors from all over the world making a BC road trip. The trip is a BC round trip that fosters global Rotaract ties and provides an authentic experience of Canada’s multiculturalism while facilitating international friendships. Most likely the group will spend Aug 29 in Whistler.
Plans are not yet in place but expect a request for billets and a BBQ. One of the highlights of the BBQ is a presentation by each student and this is a great opportunity to "Be Inspired".
Mark your calendars for this one. Many more details to come.

Fake News
Sep. 11, 2018 7:00 a.m.
Chelsea, as the Technology & Support Services Librarian at the Whistler Library, brings a keen sence of what is and what is not to the table and promices to help us sort through the often confusing web of information out there. In this short session we’ll identify the key aspects of fake news, misinformation and disinformation, propaganda, satire, and clickbait, and learn to evaluate various online resources. Her presentation is based on an iteration of a talk given at the library called “No Sh*t" in which Chelsea aims to get us thinking critically about the information we consume. Chelsea is a librarian, news junkie, and avid reader whose career has spanned special, academic, and public libraries. She manages technology, circulation, and support services at the Whistler Public Library. She and her partner, also an academic, have resided in the Sea to Sky, since 2013 |

Recycling & The Climate Reality Story
Dec. 18, 2018
My name is Taniell Hamilton and I have lived in Whistler the past 6 years. I was born and raised in Southern Alberta and spent my early twenties going to school and working around the world; New Zealand, Switzerland and Japan to name a few. In 2012 I graduated with an associates degree in Early Childhood Education and in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability Studies. I started working with WB as a kids ski instructor back in 2012 and moved into the role of "Waste Reduction Specialist" shortly after graduating. Recently, my position has changed to Assistant Sustainability Manager and my roles now include not only waste reduction, but also championing our internal green teams and training/educating our staff regarding all things environmental. The best thing about my role at WB is having the opportunity to motivate our workforce towards our sustainable initiatives and constantly being inspired by the efforts of those around me. |
