Find The Beaver Clues

About “Find The Beaver”

Each month the wily folks over at The YC (Whistler’s youth centre), LUNA, WCSS, and House (W/B staff housing) will hide Victor, a 7-inch tall ceramic beaver, somewhere in the Whistler Village area. Using clues found in ads in the local newspapers, and on their website, it is up to you to track him down, and return him to them for a lucrative reward-prize, valuing often in the hundreds of dollars.  These prizes, donated by local businesses, will range anywhere from fancy dinners to outdoor adventures to brand new skiing and snowboarding equipment. Treasures that even the most connected folks in town would have trouble getting their wild little hands on. Check the “Find The Beaver” website for full details.
