FAQ
How will travel arrangements be made?
Registered invitees will be contacted by a travel agency who will book their travel to Vancouver. From there, invitees will be taken by bus along the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler.
Do I need a passport or a visa?
Non-Canadian invitees will require a passport to travel to Canada, and invitees from some countries may require a visa. Mozilla will provide an Invitation Letter for the summit and additional information to assist with visas as required, but the costs of obtaining a passport and visa will be the responsibility of the invitee.
What should I bring?
- Clothing: During the summer months, Whistler will be quite warm, with average high/low temperatures of 22°C/8°C (72°F/46°F). Dressing in layers is recommended, as is having sweaters or jackets for the evenings.
- Gadgets: The hotel will have wireless internet access, so feel free to bring your laptop along. Canada uses standard North American Type A and Type B plugs and sockets at 120V, 60Hz. Whistler is gorgeous, so digital cameras are also recommended.
