NAYEN - Whistler extension

Overview

Whistler extension pre-NAYEN conference

March 3rd-6th

With local Rotarian host

Welcome to a winter wonderland! With christmas lights up throughout the village in the winter and snow covering the ground, you have entered into a magical space.

For many Vancouverites, Whistler is their ski destination. One of North America's best ski resorts, the town welcomes skiers and snowboarders throughout the winter for some epic adventures. Downhill adventures are not the only activities. With museums and art galleries as well as several areas for cross country skiing and snowshoeing, everyone can find their own adventure.

Join us in Whistler to enjoy the resort before your NAYEN conference.

You will be hosted by Bronwen, local Whistlerite, Travel Advisor and Rotarian.

Connect with Bronwen (Travel Advisor and Rotarian) who will coordinate your travel and confirm you on this pre-conference excursion.
