Introduction

There are few communities that have experienced the growth pressures we have in Squamish. Since 2016, our population has jumped 46%. It is a highly desirable place to live, work and play, and we are balancing the challenges that come along with this reality.

What we are working to solve:

How can we continue to manage future growth, upgrade our infrastructure, and create complete neighbourhoods that meet our community needs, all while ensuring that tax increases to residents and businesses are manageable?

Your Involvement

When you walk down a street, turn on your tap, or visit a District park – you are seeing the results of our budget process. You are impacted by the budget, and so it’s important that you provide feedback along the way. We invite you to learn how tax dollars are spent and how we are working to create a healthy, vibrant, livable and accessible community for all.

There are various ways to engage:

1) Stay tuned to this page as the budget discussions get underway and we invite your questions and comments.

2) View the documents Council will be discussing, and stay tuned for a public-friendly digital version that you can browse to learn what's proposed.

3) Attend an in-person event to discuss civic matters with a member of Council. We love to connect in person and put faces to a names!

4) At a time that's convenient, watch recordings of budget workshops and discussions, all linked from this page.

5) Send your feedback via email to budgetfeedback@squamish.ca.
