Upcoming Events
Networking and peer connections for immigrants and newcomers to Whistler...
Whistler Multicultural Network is a group of local immigrants and newcomers that meets, networks, and plays together. It was created by local immigrants to provide others in the same situation with the connections, support, and knowledge to help them adapt to life in Canada and Whistler and opportunities to get more involved locally.
Whether you’re new in town, or a long-term local, meet, support and learn from other immigrants and newcomers.
Join our online network or contact Yami to get connected.

Multicultural Community Kitchen
Join Our Multicultural Kitchen for Okonomiyaki
Okonomiyaki お好み焼きis a savory Japanese-style pancake made from egg, flour and water mixing lots of toppings. In Japanese, Okonomi means "whatever you like". You can put whatever you like on it.
There are various theories as to its origin, but it dates back to the Edo period, when the practice of pouring dissolved wheat flour into an iron plate or cast-iron pot and baking it became widespread among common people.
It is a familiar taste for Japanese people, but some people find it too salty. It is also safe for children to eat.
Join our cultural ambassador chef, Ami who will be sharing how to make this dish, culture and experiences! Whether you’re familiar with Japanese cuisine or want to learn something new, everyone is welcome! We’ll cook, chat, and enjoy a wonderful meal as we explore Japanese culture.
Bring your curiosity, and let's cook together!
When: Thursday, Nov 28th, From 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm @ 1519 Spring Creek Drive

Volunteering is a great way to get connected to the people and places where you live and can really help you get established in your new country and community. Volunteering can provide an opportunity to help others, it can help you build new skills and knowledge, and it can also help you find a job in Canada.
