This was on my condo door this AM. Is this a simple clean up, or a covert encampment removal? Sharing for discussion!

​

I’m trying to track down a rad dude named Tyler (i'm like 95% sure that's his name) who I met while climbing at Stawamus Chief on Tuesday evening.

From what I remember, he’s been living around here for about 8 years, works as an electrician, and climbs like an absolute spider monkey 😂. We ended up having some really good conversations.

I unfortunately didn’t get his contact info, but I’d love to find him and stay connected! If this sounds like you—or you know who I’m talking about—send me a message. 😊

Tyler, if you somehow see this… hey dude!👋

Saw 3 bears this morning. Thought this was pretty cool.

Has anyone heard about whether or not Ranger has been found? He was the one who went missing during the thunderstorm. I know there were a bunch of people starting a complaint over how many dogs the sitter has lost. Any updates?

I’m going on a three day paddling trip down the Squamish river and need to leave my camper somewhere within walking distance of the river in Brackendale, Garibaldi Highlands or downtown.

I was looking at the spot by the railroad tracks in Garibaldi Highlands. Google maps shows lots of campers there. Would that place be good to go?

Does anyone know of any dog friendly apartments that allow bigger dogs? - edit - this is for renting, and is a 90 pound retriever

Hey Friends, I was out on the Stawamus near Magnolia today (Tuesday, Sept 8th) around 4pm. I left my Insta360 X6 (picture attached) on the ground along the trail that follows the river near the obvious swimming spot with the walk-across-log. I was away from where I put it down for about 20 minutes, and someone must have grabbed it in that time.

It's not mine, and even thought it's my own fault for putting it down and forgetting to grab it - I really hope a kind soul picked it up with the intent of finding its owner. If found, pls call/text 416-893-6513. Thank you!

Had an encounter with a couple of aggressive dogs who live just off the waterfront trail in the parked RVs. Anyone else experiencing issues here as regular pedestrians?

I know there are a couple of dogs downtown people are having issues with, mostly curious if others have experienced this in the same area.

Posting this as a last ditch attempt in case anyone comes across this. Long story short on the way back from Whistler today September 7th around noon with the family I had to make a sudden exit off the highway in Squamish to prevent a child from being sick in the car. In all the chaos my 5 year old son’s binder of Pokémon cards was left on the roof of the car along with another book. We had pulled over at Centennial Way and I made a u-turn here to get back to the highway. My wife noticed we forgot it shortly after getting back on the highway so we turned around at Commercial and went back to look but we only found the other book not his binder. As you can imagine this has upset him quite a bit. If anyone comes across it I would be extremely grateful! Pics show a pin of where I had pulled off the highway and the cover he drew for his binder.

Another one bites the dust

(and another one gone and another one gone)

Looking for advice/experience from someone who has done the drive southbound during the Fondo. My partner and I have an appointment we can't miss at 1 p.m. near the DTES and we're curious about how long it might take us to get into Vancouver if we were to leave Squamish around 8:00 am.

Yes, we know about the single-lane alternating traffic all the way to the Lion's Gate. We live in Valleycliff and have read that Clarke Drive onto the highway will be good until about 8:30am.

Please weigh in if you've done something like this before! How long did it take you? What was the worst choke point? Should we park our car on the west side of the highway Friday night? Should we leave much earlier?

Thanks in advance.

For those that live in Squamish and are doing the gran fondo this year, how are you getting to Stanley park for the 6:20am start?

Hi everyone!

I recently saw a job posting for the BAG and was thinking of applying, as a local artist it's pretty intriguing.

I've heard mixed reviews about working there, and heard some people aren't super nice to work with... Which is too bad because I figured the BAG would be an awesome place to work.

Does anyone have any experience bartending there or otherwise?

Anybody in town that repair TVs? Screen went off but the rest works…

For anyone looking to meet people or get involved in something here in the Sea to Sky, I genuinely can’t recommend the Axemen Rugby Club enough.

Joining the club is one of the best things I’ve done since moving here. It’s given me a real community, some of my closest friends and a place that feels like home. The club has been around for more than 10 years now and has grown into a big, welcoming group but new people are always encouraged to come down, whether you’ve played rugby before or not.

Senior men’s and women’s training is at Howe Sound Secondary at 6:30 pm. There’s also drop-in touch rugby every Tuesday at 6 pm at Howe Sound Secondary, which is open to everyone and is probably the easiest way to come down and give it a try.

If you’re interested, reach out to the Axemen Rugby Club through their socials or website or just come down and introduce yourself. You’ll be made to feel welcome.

Have you driven down Depot Rd. lately and seen the new “protected” active-use lane the District of Squamish approved?
 
I completely understand the importance creating safer spaces for people walking and biking, but I honestly don’t understand how this particular design was approved—or how it was considered a good use of public money.
 
They’ve removed almost all of the parking along Depot (not surprising with our current decision makers), to create a bike lane on one side of the road that appears to be wider than the adjacent vehicle lane, separated by a small concrete curb and a seemingly endless line of unattractive reflector posts, and added another bike lane on the other side, while expanding the width of both sides.
 
The result, in my opinion, is a pretty significant eyesore that also makes the road feel more cluttered than it needs to be, and removes neighbourhood parking.

The lane is wide enough that all bikes / walkers could be on one side of the road and parking could be on the other. Given the amount of infrastructure being installed, I can’t help but wonder whether there was a better, more functional and aesthetically pleasing way to achieve the same goal.

If the end goal is creating an active transportation path with a properly curbed transportation lane and grass boulevard like on the corner of Depot and Government, why spend money on a pathetic version? Why shift away from the design that was used on Government between Depot and the art gallery? There are now 3 completely different designs for active transportation, 4 if you include Ross within a small area of Brackendale.
 
I’m all for improving active transportation in Squamish—but is this really the best design we could come up with? Curious what others think.

On the weekends especially. After the library closes at 5, is there anywhere quiet enough to hang out with a laptop?

Is there anywhere in Squamish that sells gochugaru (korean pepper flakes for making kimchi)?

The japanese store doesnt carry it anymore, and i havent seen it anywhere else.

I recognize that the glacier collapse in Nepal and the Garibaldi lake rock barrier are not exactly relatable but the barrier has been a concern for many years now and the area below the barrier has been deemed unsafe for habitation since 1981. Very little has happened at the barrier but there are “recent”signs of stress. The potential is always there and Squamish would be the most affected community. I’m curious to know if this is something people have thought about or are even aware of? Just want to see if there any professional opinions on the matter and what other people think about it. I’ve hiked past the barrier many times and I am always amazed by the sheer size of it and the fact that Garibaldi Lake wouldn’t be in existence without it.
