In partnership with the District of Squamish, BC Transit is seeking input on proposed transit changes that will help improve the efficiency of the service. The Transit Future bus has been outfitted with information on the local transit system and opportunities for the public to provide feedback.

The District of Squamish is pleased to release the findings from the Recreation Services Core Service Review presented to Council October 18, 2011.

Recreation Services staff are enthusiastic to move the plan forward and to raise the bar on leadership,programming,service delivery and communication for recreation services in the District of Squamish.
