Whistler U's concept will serve the Resort in three primary ways. The first is to serve the local population by providing programming that addresses the needs of the local population base including unique approaches for First Nations students. The second is to meet the objectives of Whistler's 2020 Plan by creating a world class learning campus that will specifically address both the five priorities in the vision and the eight success descriptors in the learning strategy. The third is to bring a much needed secondary industry to the resort that will contribute to a sustainable future in an environmentally friendly manner.

In short we propose to create a world class university campus in Whistler that enhances the resort Municipality's ability to reach its 2020 Vision of creating a sustainable learning community.

The pages in this section will detail how this project directly addresses the objectives within the Whistler 2020 plan and the economic potential of the concept.
