District Of Squamish

The District of Squamish is located at the tip of a glacially etched fjord on the Pacific Ocean, in the middle of a picturesque, temperate rainforest. Squamish is located halfway between the cosmopolitan city of Vancouver, and the four-season #1 ranked mountain resort, Whistler. The District of Squamish is a strong, vibrant and healthy community that is recognized as The Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada because of the wide range of recreational activities, world class trails and rock climbing parks that are available. A breathtaking location, combined with a population of 17,500 highly productive people, has resulted in a centre of activity that embraces continual evolution and development. Squamish hosts a variety of events such as the Squamish Valley Music Festival, Squamish Day’s Logger’s Sports, Test of Metal, the Brackendale Fall Fair, and a weekly Farmers' Market. The District also boasts the largest gathering of bald eagles in North America and hosts an annual eagle count in early January that draws international crowds. The District is strengthening its economy by developing and maintaining an attractive and welcoming business climate for local businesses and supporting those who may look to invest in or locate their business in Squamish.
