Sea to Sky RCMP to conduct ‘proactive patrols’ in popular areas

Staff report
April 23, 2021 5:46pm

For those planning to travel to Squamish for recreation, here is a message from a top police official.

“The Sea to Sky RCMP will continue to conduct proactive patrols in popular areas to uphold public health orders to support the community and keep everyone safe,” says Sea to Sky Inspector Robert Dykstra.

District of Squamish bylaw enforcement patrols will also continue to focus on parking and camping hotspots and will be monitoring phone lines for reports of problems.

Bylaw issues can be reported to 604-815-5067, and people can leave a message.

Squamish and its neighbours are concerned that the new travel restrictions won’t be enough to curb recreationalists from the Lower Mainland heading to the Sea to Sky.

In light of this, local leaders are reaching out to residents with a message to stay laser focused on what we can control.

“This pandemic continues to test our grit, and our Sea to Sky community needs to dig deep at this time and focus on staying healthy and clearing this latest hurdle,” says Mayor Karen Elliott.

“We may not be able to control the roads coming into our community, but we can control how each of us manages our own six feet and our own business safety plans to keep ourselves and our staff safe.”

Tourism Squamish, the Squamish Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Squamish Business Improvement Association are also joining together in this message to bolster the resilience of Squamish.

“Businesses have worked so incredibly hard over the last 14 months to put robust safety plans in place which have kept their staff and customers safe,” says Louise Walker, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce.

“Everyone has been doing such a great job. We are optimistic as we look towards summer with hopes to welcome visitors back once again.”
