The district said it didn’t have any information at the moment on how many employees may be affected.

Some employees are choosing unpaid leaves of absence or utilizing vacation or banked time, district said.

The district said it is also deploying staff at local non-profit agencies to support key services in the community.

The employees will work with Squamish Food Bank, Squamish Helping Hands and the Better At Home Seniors Program.

These agencies are facing staff shortages, but an increase in demand on their services.
