Hey guys,

Just looking for some insight into the metal vs. asphalt roof question.

Also curious who you’ve worked with in the past that you’d recommend (or not)?

Cheers!

How far up the valley rd do you need to go where you can find a spot to pull your vehicle onto some rocks to sit and have a small fire and chill? Would love to just have a few hours to get out of my apartment and try to regulate my nervous system

Where can I get some firecrackers?

Mighty mites M80’s Bottle rockets.

Dm if you want.

Thanks

Anyone know what that fire downtown was?

Anyone in town you’d trust to do a good setup on a nice guitar? Modern guitar but tele style, 3 piece bridge.

Anyone know whether they have any gluten free friendly dishes, or any celiacs give it a try and found success? I don’t see any indicators on the menu, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible depending on the dish. Would love to give it a try if it’s possible

Send photos of what you’ve got, need one for tonight 👍🏼

Hi Squamish, I’m looking for date night ideas or activities/events to go to for the weekends. It’s that time of year where there’s not a ton to do and my partner and I want to get out of the house more on the weekends!

Anyone know where the most affordable place to get a root touch up (solid hair colour) done in Squamish? I need it done monthly and am tired of doing it myself. Let me know!

I know Squamish has amazing water that is generally soft/neutral, however I’ve recently been experiencing a lot of skin and hair issues that I also faced when living somewhere with hard water, so I’m trying to get to the bottom of it lol.

Is it at all a possibility that the construction of Woodfibre up in Mamquam could cause more sediments etc to enter the water?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I genuinely have no idea how any of this works, I’m just a gal trying to figure out why my skin is reacting like this again all of a sudden 🙃

Is anyone else feeling increasingly frustrated with Squamish lately? The lack of street parking has become unbearable, and it seems like every house is packed with 4-6 people, each bringing along a vehicle. With every single house being converted into basement suites, we’re seeing even more cars piling up—and our neighborhoods just weren’t designed for this kind of density. The roads, parking, and infrastructure are all stretched thin, and it’s not sustainable for a community of our size.

Anyone else feeling the strain?

I'm looking to find good suggestions of activities to meet people around the same age as me.

I've lived in Squamish for 7 years now. Divorced dad of 2 little, late 30's. Looking to get a social life again. I only know married people with kids. I'm very active (physically) but haven't gotten into the standard Squamish activities yet (biking, climbing, skiing) however I can do them all at a capable ability. So far my thinking is to join these activities with whatever free time I can get:

• Sailboat racing (I'd crew, as I don't have a boat)
• Curling
• Courses at Squamish Arts (painting or anything else)
• trail running club (I'm not big on running, but can just fine. I hear they're very social)
• Start going to a local gym, and join the classes. rather than my home gym.

I'd be stoked to hear any suggestions you guys have, please!!

Solved: Helmet will be back in her little paws Friday evening.

—-

So I was rushing my toddler out of a store and accidentally left her helmet behind. Of course we live in Vancouver.

As she is a toddler, a new helmet is not her helmet and you can imagine the last 24 hours we’ve had. Oh also, it was left behind on her birthday.

Im hoping some kind soul heading from Squamish to Vancouver could grab it and return the helmet to the toddler (via me). Big ask, I know.

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on with a few classmates at SFU—Gear2Peer. It’s a peer-to-peer rental marketplace where people can rent and lend outdoor gear within their own communities. It came from a pretty familiar problem: outdoor equipment is expensive, and for anyone who wants to try new activities (skiing, climbing, kayaking, backpacking, camping, etc.), the cost of gear alone is a huge barrier.

On the other hand, many of us have that “collection” of gear piling up in our closets—stuff we don’t use enough but aren’t ready to part with. Gear2Peer connects people who need gear with people who have it to share, helping lower costs for renters and earning some extra $$ for lenders.

Some key benefits we’re aiming for:

• Lower-cost access to gear for anyone who wants to try something new.
• A simple way for gear owners to make some money off equipment they’re not using as often.
• A way to keep gear local and support outdoor communities sustainably.

If you’re into outdoor activities or have gear you could rent out, I’d love for you to check out Gear2Peer.ca, sign-up to our waitlist and let me know what you think. Constructive feedback and thoughts on what features would be most useful are super welcome!

Also, if you’ve got ideas on how to get the word out, I’m all ears. Thanks so much for reading! 😊

Hey folks, anyone know who drives this car? Hit and run today at Walmart with lots of witnesses. Cops are looking for the driver

Any suggestions on a venue in town suitable for a birthday party? Ideally, somewhere I could have a DJ setup and go from 9pm until 1am on a Friday night.

Thanks in advance

I’ve been thinking about things that could make Squamish an even better place to live. One issue for me is the electric cables running across the streets downtown. They obstruct the beautiful mountain views, and power outages are another big reason these cables are a concern.

Another issue is the lack of sidewalks. The only nice ones are on Cleveland Ave and in new developments, which seems to indicate that we’re reliant on private companies for improvements.

These might not even be the biggest concerns, of course. What are some other things that bother you? Public transportation? Bike lanes? Downtown parking? Not enough ambulances? Do you feel the district is doing enough, or is there more that could be done to improve our community? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I am as confused as anyone about the constant name changes of the place. But, I did think that the patio they put in last summer was a great addition and actually one of the nicer patios in town for people watching. So very confused when they took it away. Anyone know why?

Everything I've had there has been great:

• The yangnyeom chicken is addictive and highly recommended
• The bibimbap was fresh and delicious
• Even the sushi seems fresher and better portion sizes than other places in town

The portions are large, and the service is great. I don't know why it always seems so empty, especially when places like Howe Sound Brewing always seem full. Maybe people were turned off by the buffet prices? They seemed to have closed the buffet for now, likely due to lack of foot traffic.

I recommend checking them out if you haven't yet! I'd really like to see them make it (if only selfishly so I can get my yangnyeom chicken fix)

Looking to line up a jolly Santa for a Christmas party. Anyone out there have a line on a Santa for hire? Thanks!

I used to love going there whenever I passed through squamish. Now it's inedible. Did it change owners?

Edit: It seems like everyone in Squamish can agree it went from great to terrible.

Not people with kids, I mean adults. Anyone doing anything fun?

Whats happening downtown? Everyone ok?

Edit - false alarm. It’s a test. They sent a email saying that was a test. 7 minutes after the fact.

Pretty pretty pretty weak.

Hey folks, a bit of an odd request but I’m at a lost. Curious if anyone in Squamish knows of a mechanic who is willing to work on a ‘70s Chevy van? Because of her age most shops in town won’t work on her. Open to suggestions in Vancouver and Whistler too.

She definitely needs some love. I’m slowly restoring her/learning about vehicles as I go. Most of the mechanical stuff I’d like to do on my own. (Though some guidance is never a bad thing) The main issue is the wiring needs to be redone, which is not something I’m able to take on. Will obviously compensate for work.

Also doesn’t need to be a specific shop. Even someone with experience restoring their own vehicles works!

Thanks in advance!
