After what I saw this long weekend in Squamish this doesn’t surprise me at all. Everywhere is jammed up in Squamish by 10 am now and local lakes are over capacity. Time for our mayor and council to step up and do something
i saw so many employees do not wear mask while handling food, or if they have one is not covering their nose i had to refuse to pay for my order at DQ as they all were their mask under their neck. and
ofcourse lots of out of town visitors can be another factor .
