Remembrance Day Ceremony, November 11, 10:45 am to 11:45 am at Stan Clarke Park

The Squamish community is invited to join the Squamish Legion for a collective moment of silence to remember those who served.

People are welcome to pay their respects in person around the outer perimeter of the Cenotaph, or at other times throughout the day to place a poppy or to take time to reflect and remember.

There will be social following the ceremony at the Squamish Legion located at 40194 Glenalder Pl, Garibaldi Highlands (located above the Tantalus Bike Shop)

Roofing Recommendations in town?

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!

Beach fire

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

Ahn Noodle - Gluten free?

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

Date night ideas

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!

Root touch up Squamish

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!

Has the city water become more hard opposed fo soft?

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 🙃

Anyone annoyed with the direction of Squamish?

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?

Social/dating suggestions

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!!

Big ask - Can anyone bring my kiddo’s helmet to Vancouver from Squamish?

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.

Gear2Peer – A platform for renting outdoor gear locally! Would love some feedback from the community 🌲🏔️

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! 😊

Venue for birthday party?

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
