Refereed by non other than Maureen Douglas this event is sure to be a wild smash hit! Make sure you are there to cheer, laugh and boo!

Community Now: Made in Whistler
Film Screening @ Millennium Place
What does it mean to be a kid growing up in Whistler?
The film Community Now: Made in Whistler scribbles out Whistler’s amazing kids whose talents aren’t just confined to ski racing gates. The 35-minute film follows everyone from an 18-year-old EMI recording artist and a nine-year-old painter who sells her works for $500 to a 16-year-old freeride mountain biker who nailed the first competition double back flip in the world. Presented by the Whistler Museum, Made in Whistler is one of four films produced as part of the Community Now film series documenting Whistler’s history. Join the community to learn about young Olympic dreams of competing in skeleton and what excuses parents use to get out of work on a 20-centimetre powder day. The event is free with a reception of live entertainment and a student art exhibit beforehand. |
