Squamish News

A district-commissioned report riddled with sweeping claims, contradictions, and insufficient data downplays the risk of rockfall on the Chief mountain.

Squamish has been ranked 74 out of 209 best places to live in Canada, its overall rank rising by 59 spots. It was ranked 133 in 2014.

More rock scaling work will be done on the Stawamus Chief June 4 and 5, 2015 in the vicinity of the rock fall that occurred in the Angel’s Crest area.

Squamish is one among the top BC communities for Binge drinking, according to a new My Health, My Community survey conducted by Vancouver Coastal Health, Fraser Health and UBC.

In a baby-boom town brimming with young families and kids, we explore lives of a few local twins—and of their parents.

Residents can recycle air-freshener cartridges, bottle caps, Swiffer packs and other "non-recyclable" home cleaning waste at the Squamish London Drugs.

Found in a metal recycling dumpster in a community north of Pemberton, little Ella suffered what appear to be crush injuries to her front feet and a dislocated vertebrae at the base of her tail.
