The Whistler Health Care Foundation’s 2025 Hike for Health raised more than $130,000 for the Whistler Health Care Centre.

Thank you, Whistler!

Whistler Health Care Foundation’s Hike for Health took place on Sunday, June 15 on the Ascent Trail on Blackcomb Mountain in the beautiful sunshine. More than 200 hikers showed up to hike up the mountain, and together the community raised a record-breaking $132,000 for the Whistler Health Care Centre. 

We want to thank our event sponsor, the Touchet family, and our event partner Whistler Blackcomb for the contribution of gondola passes, food vouchers, and the use of the beautiful trail. Big thanks to Creekside Market and Nesters Market for donating the food. Thanks to Jim Budge for being our official photographer, and Sue Eckersley from Watermark for donating the audio equipment and staff. 

We also want to thank Meaghan Sutter from Peak Training and Rehab Studio for leading us in an amazing warm-up. We could not have done this event without the dozens of volunteers that help put it together. THANK YOU!  

This community is so special, and always shows up for the things that matter! Save the date for next year: Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21, 2026.
