Why not make a fun New Year’s resolution to become a wine expert in 2012? Whistler Water recently paid a visit to our friends at Everything Wine to learn wine tasting tricks and techniques from the professionals. Not only did we pick up some great tips but we were also thrilled to learn that there is no better accompaniment to a glass of wine than water, as it can help cleanse your palate as well as keep you hydrated. Listen: Everything Wine on 650AM

If you are a wine lover, make sure you join Whistler Water at the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival in February where you can sample from some of the world’s best bottles.

With the winter chill in the air, those who enjoy outdoor recreation generally aren’t as worried about losing fluids as they are in the warmer months. Dehydration is the number one performance inhibitor among athletes even when the temperatures plummet. So, if you are heading outside for your first workout of 2012 take quick read of this article from Shape Magazine and make sure you have a bottle of Whistler Water in your hand as both will help you stay ahead of the game.

Make a date this New Year to broaden your mind. If you haven’t already heard about TED Talks it is a great online site that allows you to easily learn new and exciting topics. TED video lectures bring together some of the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. One that really caught our eye recently was given by Dr. Mike Biddle, founder of MPA Polymer Plastics, as he brought to our attention the huge scope of products that can be recycled. Check out this informative video and don’t forget to join the thousands who have signed Whistler Water’s Let The Bottle Live On Pledge in the past year.

We aren’t usually ones for tooting our own horns but Whistler Water was recently recognized internationally as a finalist at the Water Innovation Awards in Brazil. This annual event recognizes innovation in water technology but also environmental and philanthropic work by water companies and we are just a little bit proud to have been nominated this year.

This was a great global honor for our small company and we invite you to log on and find out more about our pursuits.

Day and Night – Water Is Truly The Ultimate Drink

A Fraser Health cardiac specialist recently opened our eyes even more to the health benefits that water can provide. We all know H2O is great for us but did you know that there are times of the day where drinking water can be even more beneficial? Whistler Water thought we would share this cool information with you to help you get the most out of your daily water intake.

The cardiac specialist recommends:

2 glasses of water after waking up – this helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion and can aid weight loss
1 glass of water before taking a bath – lowers blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed – helps to avoid stroke or heart attack

We Day Vancouver – Whistler Water Was There!

Whistler Water — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 21:41:44 +0000

October 14 we were fortunate enough to be able to sponsor an amazing event, the 2011 We Day Vancouver. 18,000 youth, educators and supporters filled Rogers Arena for a day of inspiring speeches by guests like Mikhail Gorbachev and former Congolese child soldier Michel Chikwanine with entertainment by Hedley, Shawn Desman and more.

We were also fortunate enough to run into speaker Spencer West in the arena. Next year this incredible man is planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in his wheelchair.

Whistler Water was there to support the important work of Free the Children and educate thousands of students about the importance of recycling through our Let the Bottle Live On pledge.

It’s not just what’s on the inside that counts

Whistler Water — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 23:33:42 +0000

At Whistler Water we’ve always known that our water is exceptional. The purity of our water sings on the palate and fills the body with the ultimate elixir of life. And while we’re very proud of our commitment to recycling, we’re steadfast in our effort to ever reducing our ecological footprint.

That’s why we’re so excited about our new biodegradable bottle. Now our bottle is as exceptional as our water. Our new biodegradable bottle ensures that if a bottle isn’t recycled, it will breakdown naturally.

Whistler Water. Good for you. Good for the environment.
