Abstract
Abstract This chapter describes the landed negotiation dynamic of a particular group of lifestyle migrants in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada. This group consists of relatively young migrants who intend to live and work in Whistler but do not make it past 2 years and leave. This research explores the landed negotiation of this cohort, including their motivation for migration, their landed challenges, and the perceived differences in those who stay to work and those who leave. The value of this research is to shed light on an under-represented subgroup of lifestyle migrants who also represent an important labour cohort in resort communities where there is often labour instability.
