District purchases 5.3 acre property on Loggers Lane

The District of Squamish has purchased a 5.3-acre property, known as the Drenka property, located between Smoke Bluffs Park and the tip of the Mamquam Blind Channel along Loggers Lane.

The land near the adventure centre was purchased for $650,000 through the Parks Reserve budget.

The District said it has had a long-standing interest in acquiring this piece of property, and was identified as a top priority for land acquisition in district plans.

An existing water line for the District’s water supply system crosses the property, and it also has high riparian values due to the proximity to the Mamquam Blind Channel.

Its proximity to Smoke Bluffs Park also makes it an important asset for recreational and trail-related interests.

“The acquisition of this property enables us to preserve our natural environment and support convenient access to parkland and outdoor recreation as our community continues to grow,” says District of Squamish Acting Mayor Jenna Stoner.

“The district wishes to acknowledge and express thanks to the Drenka family for working with us to secure this important acquisition that will bring lasting benefits for the community.”

Currently zoned Industrial, the property is designated as a ​’Greenway​’ ​in the Squamish 2040 Official Community Plan which is defined as land that is intended or reserved for environmental protection or recreational use.

The purchase ensures that this land will never be used for industrial purposes, district noted.

    Great news for Squamish! Long awaited and much needed land to join Smoke Bluffs Park to the water and bring back all of the important rock climbs. The Upper Blind Channel Estuary is another jewel. I hope we can protect it from dogs.
