As we close out October and Circular Economy Month we are beyond honoured to see some information that HI Hostel Whistler recently implemented at the hostel to highlight and share how WCSS helps with their guests and staff!

The team at HI Whistler recently introduced "onboarding staff bingo" for new staff which includes activities to help them get to know Whistler and the local community! One of the "challenges" is to buy or donate something at the Re-Use-It or Re-Build-It Centres! Challenge accepted! ✅

HI Canada Social Impact Manager, Irene, also made this amazing drawing to share the mission of HI Canada, and highlighted WCSS and our social enterprise thrift stores! 🥰

WOW! We are so excited to share our work with and support new arrivals to Whistler!

THANK YOU!

HI Whistler

Legacy donors make a lasting difference!

The care we show one another today can help shape a stronger, more supported community for generations. A legacy gift to WCSS is one way to extend that care into the future, helping ensure people can continue to access the support and connection they need for years to come.

There are many ways to make a legacy gift, and the right approach is personal to you. If you’re curious about your options or would like to explore what a legacy gift could look like, we’d love to chat.

Let’s talk about the difference you’d like to make in the years to come. Contact Imogen at [email protected] for a confidential, no-obligation conversation.

It's Leave a Review Day and we're pretty sure this counts as a RAVE! One of our favorite programs is our School Food Program! It goes by many names in the schools but part of it is our Breakfast Club where kids can access nutritious meals to fill their tummies in the morning and support their learning!

Our youngest clients are our most vulnerable and we are so thrilled we are able to reach them with this important program. Scroll to see what students from Ecole La Passerelle and Spring Creek have to say about this program! Shared with permission!

We would also be remiss not to mention the on-site heroes that make this program possible, our teachers, EAs, and clerical workers who get this food into the hands of our students, especially our youngest ones who need more support and sometimes feel shy to access this food, thank you for your incredible work! 🥰💖
