| Nancy Wilhelm-Morden was born in Kitchener, Ontario. She first
visited Whistler (then known as Alta Lake) in 1973 for a two-week holiday. Like so many others, she caught the Whistler
bug and became a permanent resident. She carried on with her studies, however, graduating from the University
of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1983. She completed her articles with Sutton Braidwood and
was called to the Bar in 1984. After working as an associate for both Sutton Braidwood and Watson Goepel Maledy, Ms.
Wilhelm-Morden opened her own practice in Whistler in 1987. The practice very quickly caught fire and she subsequently
merged it with Race & Company in 1988. She has been a partner since that time.
Nancy is a trial lawyer and acts for individuals and corporations. For the past thirteen years, her emphasis has been
personal injury litigation. She has appeared at all levels of court in this province and has participated in numerous
mediations. She has lectured for Continuing Legal Education and conducted courses for the People's Law School. She
is a member of the Canadian Bar Association and the Trial Lawyers Association of British Columbia.
Nancy continues to hold the belief in community service instilled in her as a child. She is a Councilor for the Resort
Municipality of Whistler. She has held office as a Whistler municipal councillor in 1984, 1988 and 1996. She
has been a director of the Elizabeth Fry Society, the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, Dandelion Daycare Society and the
Whistler Health Care Foundation. She was a founding director and past president of the Community Foundation of
Whistler.
