Whistler residents will head to the polls on October 15 to vote in their next mayor and council in the 2022 B.C. municipal election.
Incumbent Jack Crompton was acclaimed mayor in 2018, after running unopposed. He is running again in 2022 and will face two challengers, taxi operator Marcus Culver and recycling supervisor Brian Walker.
Incumbent councillors Jen Ford, John Grills and Cathy Jewett were re-elected in 2018, along with newcomers Arthur De Jong, Duane Jackson and Ralph Forsyth.
Ford, Jewett, De Jong and Forsyth are all up for re-election in 2022, along with a slew of newcomers including Jessie Morden, daughter of former mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden.
