Naomi Devine, Sustainability Coordinator with the Resort Municipality of Whistler (you can follow her on Twitter and get a sense of what it means to be a "sustainability coordinator" for a small but dynamic BC municipality). In this interview Naomi talks to CITinfoResource editor hanspetermeyer about her experience at the October 2009 "Resilient Cities" Gaining Ground summit (GGRC09). This interview was recorded on January 19, 2010 just after Naomi boarded the bus to work in Whistler.

Note:

The Resort Municipality of Whistler is one of a growing number of local governments in BC (and across Europe and North America) that is stepping into social media as a way to engage with citizens and the community at large. Following Naomi's posts on Twitter is one way to see how local government assumes a human face. You can see what the Resort Municipality of Whistler is up to on Facebook here.
