The Whistler Survival Guide the whistler survival guide Produced by Whistler Community Services Society mywcss.org Whistler’s Four Season Survival guide Whistler is known internationally as a year-round playground that allows visitors (and locals) easy access to some of the best skiing and mountain biking in the world. In the valley, below the ‘Mile-High’ mountain, each season brings different pleasures along with season-specific challenges. The Whistler Community Services Society’s (WCSS) Survival Guide is designed to help you navigate Whistler, year round. It will provide you with resources and tools along with some local’s insights about situations you might run into while you are here. At the beginning of this guide you will find your Whistler Arrival Checklist. These items need to be taken care of immediately upon your arrival to Whistler, or where possible, even before from home. Information includes how to get a Work Permit and Social Insurance Number, where to look for work, and how to find a place to live. See page 8 for more details. The Survival Toolkit, page 12, consists of programs and services that you might need to use in order to make it through a season or longer in Whistler; along with information on your rights here in Canada. A simplified version of the toolkit, with all the important contact numbers, is located on the last page of the WCSS Survival Guide, making it easy for you to contact services when needed. The remaining information takes each season, starting with fall, and lists both the chal- lenges you should keep on your radar, and the pleasures that Whistler has to offer. Whistlerites tend to be a bit obsessed with weather. Each season here will bring climate changes that will determine what you do. Influenced by latitude, mountains and the nearby Pacific Ocean, weather can change dramatically in hours. At certain times of the year, the difference of a few degrees in temperature could mean a 50cm dump of fresh snow, or cold coastal rain. To make the most of this fickle climate, Whistlerites have learned to pack skis and boards for a spring morning on the mountain, but also have their mountain bike handy for an afternoon ride. By reading through this Four Season Guide, you should find enough hints and tips to help transform you from a newbie to a Whistler local.

This is especially true if you arrive in late fall or over the winter, when all the jobs have been filled and rooms taken. Here is a checklist to help you get yourself set up in Whistler. 1. GET A WORk PERmIT to work IN Canada BEFORE yOU ARRIVE This website can help you clarify what you need in order to earn a living here. See www. cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.asp 2. APPLy FOR A SOCIAL INSURANCE NUmBER (SIN) Your Work Permit isn’t quite enough to get you legally working in Canada; you also need to apply for a Social Insurance Number (SIN). To do this, take your ID including your passport to a Service Canada location. The central office is in Vancouver, however, you can stay local and visit the Service Canada Outreach office at the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, which operates on specific dates. For more information see www.whistler- chamber.com/Employment-Resources/Service-Canada-Outreach.html 3. GET CANADIAN CURRENCy You’ll need about $2,000 to get through your first month in Whistler. You can expect to spend this on rent, damage deposit, food, phone, fun and other basics until you get your first pay cheque. 8 4. GET A BANk Account You will need a bank account to deposit and cash pay cheques. To open an account, you’ll need photo ID and may have to make an appointment. There are four banks in Whistler. RBC - Royal Bank of Canada North Shore Credit Union 101-4000 Whistler Way - Village 101-4321 Village Gate Boulevard - Village 604-938-5800 604-982-8000 TD Bank Financial Group Scotia Bank 138-4370 Lorimer Road - Marketplace 2059 Lake Placid Rd - Creekside 604-905-5500 604-966-3232 5. GET A PHONE Phone companies for land lines are known to ask for big deposits, get a mobile or cell phone and buy minutes. It is cheaper, more secure and you’re in control. Note: The area code for the Whistler area, Vancouver and the lower mainland is 604 or 778, and you must dial 1 before the area code to make a long distance call. 6. GET A Place to LIVE If you arrive in late fall, this can be harder than you think. You can expect to share ac- commodations, as in most cases, privacy is an expensive commodity in Whistler. The go- ing rate for a room in a shared house can be around $600-$700, or if you are willing to share a room it may be less. To see what’s available to rent, check out The Whistler Ques- tion, www.whistlerquestion.com, or The Pique, www.piquenewsmagazine.com. Take the time to look at different places, the difference between where you live and whom you live with can make or break your Whistler experience. There are a few hostels and lodges in town that can serve as a good landing pad while you hunt for a place.

    Executive Summary Conditional Use HEARING DATE: JANUARY 19, 2012 Date: January 12, 2012 Case No.: 2011.0471C Project Address: 1111 California Street Zoning: RM‐4 (Residential Mixed, High Density) District 65‐A Height and Bulk District Nob Hill Special Use District Block/Lot: 0253/020 Project Sponsor: Allan Casalou 1111 California Street San Francisco, CA 94108 Staff Contact: Kevin Guy – (415) 558‐6163 [email protected] Recommendation: Approval with Conditions PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Nob Hill Masonic Center (ʺCenterʺ) has operated since 1958, hosting activities associated with the Freemasons, as well as a variety of events that include music, comedy, and cultural performances, civic events (such as graduations and naturalization ceremonies), exhibitions, and corporate meetings. The assembly and entertainment functions of the Center became nonconforming in 1978, when the subject property was rezoned to the RM‐4 District, which does not permit such activities. The proposal is to continue the operation of the nonconforming entertainment and assembly uses, as well as the existing food and beverage service uses, which are conditionally permitted within the Nob Hill Special Use District. No enlargement or intensification of the existing nonconforming use, and no change to the physical configuration of the Center is proposed as part of the request for Conditional Use authorization. The maximum capacity of the auditorium would remain at 3,282 persons. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PRESENT USE The Project Site is located on the south side of California Street between Jones and Taylor Streets, Block 0253, Lot 020. The subject property is located within the RM‐4 (Residential Mixed, High Density) District, the 65‐A Height and Bulk District, and the Nob Hill Special Use District.
