Welcome to Whistler's Official Accessible Travel web site for people with Disabilities and all Abilities visiting Whistler and BC. Canada.

We are the original creators for "Accessible Tourism" in Canada since 2001...!

Whistler for the Disabled was created by Hugh Tollett in 2001 well before the 2010 Paralympics and Olympics were awarded in 2003 to help Enhance the lives of People with Disabilities who visit or live in Whistler.

Providing Accessible Travel Information, Assistance and Support to those with Disabilities and their Families as well as to Seniors or anyone with a Temporary Disability. Creating the first Model for Accessible Tourism in Canada.

We have been very proud to be the Official Go To people for Accessible Tourism and Whistler's Accessibility on the Official Vancouver2010.com website now for close to two years.

Hugh became Deaf in 2001 due to NF2 Neurofibromatosis, Type 2. which gave him the idea to start up a web site to promote Whistler as an "Accessible Destination" for the whole World to come and visit no matter their Abilities or Disabilities.
