The District of Squamish invites all residents to the October 29 Create the Oceanfront Open House to see for the first time the detailed conceptual designs for the Oceanfront lands. The Open House takes place at the Sea to Sky Hotel Ballroom at 40330 Tantalus Way from 6:30 – 9 p.m. with multi-media presentations beginning at 7 p.m.
“This is what the community has been waiting for,” said Mayor Greg
Gardner. “A chance for residents to view the designs and hear from the
Create the Oceanfront team about the vision and the future for the
Oceanfront lands,” continued Gardner.
All residents are encouraged to attend the open house to see the new
drawings and hear about the future of the oceanfront from the
oceanfront landowners, and become up-to-date on the planning process.
There is also an opportunity to ask questions and to provide feedback
regarding the conceptual designs to date.
The District, The Squamish Oceanfront Development Corporation, Mamquam
Ocean Developments Ltd. (Westmana), and BC Rail Properties have all
developed detailed plans in response to the ongoing community
consultation. This meeting will present the work done to date.
About the “Create the Oceanfront” Planning Process:
The “Create the Oceanfront” planning process, led by the District of
Squamish, is a community-based process that will determine a land use
plan for the Squamish Oceanfront Peninsula. The process began with the
public launch in June 2008, a presentation to Council in September 2009
with another presentation to Council before the end of the year.
