Well the games are over and I am back in the home office and normality of life will resume for both myself and the staff in Whistler. I know the By-Law officers are glad to resume normal hours of operations opposed
to the 12 hour shifts they have been working the last three weeks.
There were no major parking adventures so to speak and the crowd was very cooperative and followed the rules and regulations. The MC75 handheld ticket writers have done an outstanding job both weather wise as well as ease of use. There were a number of redeployed employees assigned to the By-Law Office that are not normal users who have expressed to me how much they have enjoyed using the units. The hardware has been dependable and the software was self explanatory and easy to use. Now that is something I like to hear!
I was so impressed by the operation of the By-Law office and the entire parking staff at Whistler. What an outstanding job of taking care of business while at the same time being the friendly host to thousands of visitors who converged on the town. The RMO had an excellent plan, regular morning briefings and a commitment to excellence which attributed to the overall success of the operations.
In the next few weeks Whistler will be changing their setup and moving to the HCS Webservices and Real Time Wireless functionality with the handhelds. They are extremely excited about this new endeavor and feel like it will make their operations much more efficient!
In closing I would like to say thank you again to Sandra Smith, Jim Watts, their staff, family and friends for making this a great and wonderful experience! Though there was a lot of work involved there was some spare time to enjoy the games as well as the beauty of Whistler-thanks to all of them! If you are ever up for a trip I highly recommend Whistler as your destination.
