The latest adventure tourism project in town is headed to a public hearing.
The public hearing for Squamish Canyon project will be held at 6 pm on Tuesday, March 10.
It will be held at the Squamish 55 centre on Village Green Way.
Squamish Canyon received a provincial licence in 2017, and was granted first and second reading by the District of Squamish council in January.
The tourism project is located in the Power House spring area, with access off Mamquam Road.
The first phase of the Squamish Canyon proposal includes roughly 800m of boardwalk elevated off the forest floor and roughly 200m of canyon walkway.
Squamish Canyon expects 109,000 visitors in the first year, a number that is anticipated to grow to 136,000 by the third year.
An average party size is expected to be 3.3 people and a guest duration in the experience is an average of 2 hours, according to a staff report to council.
The daily average total visits is expected to be 374 visitors per day, which is expected to result in an average of 128 vehicles per day.
