Find out what previous Whistler workers have said about their time there in our Oyster Reviews
Heather Hughes, Whistler Kids 2010/11
“The job was one of the best in Whistler as you get to ski, even at work! The lifestyle of skiing and going out was perfect. Everyone in Whistler has the same mentality and is there for the same reasons so it’s really easy to get along with people.”
Jake Moran, Oyster food and beverage worker 2010/11
“Just want to say thank you for all your help, you made my arrangements to get to Canada very easy and my journey smooth and stress free.”
Matt Ravenscroft, Whistler Kids 2009/10
“The placement lived up to my expectations and much more! The group got on well and made friends straight away, the work was really good and the supervisors were easy to talk to. I didn’t have any problems while I was there, but it was reassuring to know that Tory was there if we needed some backup.”
Kelly Moore, Whistler Kids 2008/09
“I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU! I had the most amazing time last year and even though I’m at Uni now and really enjoying it, it just does not compare to my experience in Whistler.
There is not one person I didn’t get along with and still today, a year after first meeting them we still speak regularly and try to arrange get togethers! I miss it just as much today as I did the day I got back and I know everybody else does too.
It was the time of my life. Nothing will ever compare and I met some of the loveliest people ever! Thank you so much for making it possible for me.”
Will Huddy, Whistler Kids 2008/09
“I would like to thank you and the Oyster team for everything you have done. By coming out here I have opened a door I didn’t even know was there.”
Jas Parker, Den Master 2008/09
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you a million times over for the amazing work you do, especially for organising my placement in Whistler. I went over with the group in November and had the time of my life, I began with absolutely no knowledge of skiing, I am now proud to say I have come away from the experience as, if nothing else, a pretty competent all mountain skier and an unending love for western Canada.
Summer is, if possible just as epic as winter in Whistler, the five lakes provide an amazing range of activities and the weather is gorgeous. We also went road tripping, and reached about middle Canada before having to turn back due to time constraints, brilliant country.
I can honestly say it was the best thing I have ever done and could never have done it without you. I have met some unparalleled personalities, and made lifelong friends.
Nicola Rata, Whistler Kids 2007/08
“I settled in quickly and found everyone in Whistler very friendly and welcoming.
I always have a bit of doubt before going to a new place. Will I enjoy the job? Will I like the place? Will I get on with the people? But as soon as I arrived I loved it, everything seemed perfect!”
Catherine Gibson, parent of Dom – Oyster worker 2011/12
“Thank you for all the helpful emails and very efficient service you have provided in getting Dom off to Whistler. Can’t believe it was a week ago! He is very happy and no doubt going to have a wonderful experience. Please pass on our thanks to everyone involved. We have been very impressed with Oyster’s service.”
