I was not sure, but this site tells it as well:
http://www.discovervancouver.com/gvb/place_names.asp:

Whistler: Takes its name from Whistler Mountain (formerly London Mountain). Whistler Mountain is so named because of the numerous whistlers (marmots) living on its slopes. Whistler post office was opened in 1976.

Regards,
M.
