Whistler Multicultural Society
Building Equitable Community
Embedded Files
Whistler Multicultural Society's (WMS) vision is that newcomers, immigrants and all culturally and racially diverse people are resilient and are thriving. Our programs build inter-cultural interaction and connections, develop awareness and understanding of our local diversity, and seek to grow equity and inclusion. We aim to build the voice and profile of newcomers, immigrants and equity-deserving members of our local communities, and to develop community inclusion initiatives.

Having fun and gaining a new perspective?
Having fun and gaining a new perspective?
We believe that by experiencing aspects of different cultures in a fun and supportive environment, children will gain a different perspective which will help them develop a life-long curiosity and interest in valuing and promoting diversity and inclusion. And that in turn means we can grow a more equitable and diverse community where cultural and racial diversity truly enriches our community and local life, different world views are valued and respected, and where racism and discrimination are recognized and addressed by all community members who actively seek to build social justice and equity.

Every August, over five days, we introduce children to different cultures represented in our communities in a fun, safe, and enquiring environment. Each day of the Multicultural Camp is led by a Cultural Ambassador; a local immigrant who customize each day's activities with their own cultural heritage - including their language, food, games, crafts, music, song, and dance.

In 2025, Multicultural Summer Camp runs from August 11 to 15 and we'll be learning about celebrating the culture and traditions of Morocco, Chile, Uganda, Cameroon and Nigeria with Achraf, Carolina, Philly, Mangwi and Sharon. There are still one or two places available for either the whole week, or individual days. You can learn more, and register your child, at kidscamps.wmsociety.ca
