It didn’t take Janice Lloyd long to come up with her motto for this fall’s byelection campaign. “We have to make the best better,” she said. Improving on an already “fabulous” community is . . .
A resident of Whistler for about 23 years, McWhinnie was named Citizen of the Year in 2006. She s known for the amazing amount of energy she poured into local organizations, events and causes. She was a great, amazing woman, said friend Sara Jennings. We need more people like her who will stand up for what they believe in.
Jennings said she got to know McWhinnie around 2005 when the two worked as part of Whistler Watch, a local group that formed to fight a proposed public-private partnership at Whistler s sewage treatment plant. McWhinnie was one of the founding members of Whistler Watch, which continues to be active in the community.
