Neighbourhood Guide: Squamish

INTRODUCTION

Squamish - a nation, a language and one of the fastest growing communities in BC. Located halfway between Vancouver and Whistler, Squamish was once a town where daytrippers would come off the Sea to Sky Highway for a coffee break and not much else. But today, it’s a destination on the up with world-class tourist attractions and vibrant new neighbourhoods drawing visitors and prospective residents alike.

Squamish’s main draw is arguably its location, perfectly situated where the Coast Mountains meet the serene waters of Howe Sound, a Unesco Biosphere Reserve. The Stawamus Chief, a huge granite monolith, looms large over the town and helps paint a picture of the area’s thousands of years of indigenous history. Mount Garibaldi, a dormant volcano, frames the landscape in the other direction and serves as an invitation for visitors to explore the thousands of kilometres of nearby trails.
