Our Mission: GROW SPORT!
Our Vision: Creating an international centre for sports excellence

Whistler Sport Legacies (WSL) is a not-for-profit organization that honours the spirit of sport from the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. On June 1, 2010, WSL became responsible for the operation of the Whistler Sliding Centre, Whistler Olympic Park and the Whistler Athletes’ Centre to provide active, accessible and safe opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.

WSL believes the pursuit of sport is a catalyst for individual and community development, and we are committed to supporting athletic excellence, teamwork, respect and empowerment through sport. From playgrounds to podiums, WSL encourages the public to explore sports on a recreational level and provides world-class facilities for athletes to discover, develop and excel in their disciplines.

To help us achieve our goals and values, our Board Members include representatives from the Lil’wat Nation, Squamish Nation, Canadian Olympic Committee, Canadian Paralympic Committee, Province of British Columbia and the Resort Municipality of Whistler.
