District of Squamish

The District of Squamish is pleased to announce that Jada Drake is the winner of the
Mayor for a Day contest!  This contest was held from May 11th to 17th as part of an initiative to celebrate Local Government Awareness (LGA) Week that runs from May 20th to 26th.  The program aims to generate awareness and educate the public about the roles and responsibilities of local government.   It also draws attention to the importance of public participation in local government processes, such as voting in local elections and Town Hall meetings.  The District of Squamish has a number of activities planned for residents throughout the week that are aimed at building awareness about the vital role local government plays.  

“On behalf of Council, congratulations to Jada Drake for a job well done,” said Mayor Rob Kirkham. “The entries were all fantastic and it was a difficult decision to make. Thank you to all the students who took part in this contest and the teachers who invited District staff to deliver presentations on local government.”
