Service Squamish Initiative
Council is proud to endorse the Service Squamish Initiative. It represents for us a profound change for the District of Squamish as we articulate how we will achieve excellence in governance for our residents, our investors and our employees.
Service Squamish Initiative
The Service Squamish Initiative is about envisioning, defining,
and achieving excellence in local governance for our residents,
investors, Council, and employees. It is about sustainable
governance through which we structure and lead an organization
that enhances Squamish the community, Squamish the place,
Squamish the economy, and Squamish the corporation.
The Service Squamish Initiative was considered and conceptualized
based on the District’s Corporate Mission Statement. Adopted in
2004:
Our mission is to protect and enhance the livability and
sustainability of our community, and to embrace and benefit
from the opportunities before us. We will be successful in
serving the needs of our community through:
- Visionary leadership
- Strong community partnerships
- Customer focused service
- Excellence in governance
- Sound financial management

Benchmarking
Benchmarking is the process of sharing ideas and discoveries between related services with the goal of optimizing performance. Tracking processes will be implemented across the organization to measure performance on everything from development applications, building permits, metres of pipe replaced, tonnes of material in the landfill/ diverted from the landfill, agendas prepared, recreation programs enjoyed, newsletters distributed and licences sold, to name a few.
