Maggi Thornhill launches Thornhill Real Estate Group

Boutique agency will be based in Creekside

One of Whistler’s best know real estate agents, Maggi Thornhill, has opened her own boutique-style office, the Thornhill Real Estate Group.

Previously with Sea to Sky Premier Properties, Thornhill and her team of real estate professionals will offer service “above and beyond anything currently found in the Whistler area.” Handyman services, transportation, concierge services and a moving vehicle are just a few of the time-saving and valuable resources that will be provided by the Thornhill Real Estate Group, headed by Bob Daniels as acting broker.

The company’s office is in Franz’s Trail at Creekside.

Thornhill started working as a realtor in 1989 and has for years been one of Whistler’s top selling real estate agents.

 

WB Foundation awards $50,000

The Whistler Blackcomb Foundation has awarded a grant of $50,000 to the Squamish Health Care Foundation to support the purchase of surgical equipment for the Squmaish Hospital.

The funds, which were raised at the Whistler Blackcomb Foundation’s 12 th annual Telus Mountain Valley Golf Classic in September, will be matched by the Squamish Health Care Foundation.

The Whistler Blackcomb Foundation has also announced that after four years as the Executive Director and nine years involvement with the foundation, Mei McCurdy is taking a one year leave of absence. In her place, Kasi Lubin has taken over as the Interim Executive Director. Lubin co-founded the Whistler Film Festival and has worked on various events and projects for many local organizations, such as the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival, Whistler Arts Council, Maurice Young Millennium Place, and the Whistler Chamber of Commerce.
