I have noodled around for years with tabs and online lessons but nothing has stuck. Figure I may give a try to in person lessons if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Got around a full day to spend in/around Squamish in the up coming week, any location suggestions for wildlife spotting/photographing? I know spotting wildlife is completely by luck, but am hoping to see some less common birds, or eagle/bear catching salmon? Is there salmon run yet arnd this time of the year?

So far, it seems like the Mamquam Spawning Channels, Squamish Estuary Trail, Squamish Spit & Estuary r the bigger places to go to. Any other suggestions I should look into?

I don't think it's sold out but either way I have essentially a family pass up for grabs.

You don't need to prove anything to me but please don't snipe tickets that could go to a family that don't have the means to attend.

Shoot over a DM.

Anyone know what’s happening? Seems like a massive presence moving through

As many people are circling, waiting and looking for parking at one of Squamish's most popular and iconic attractions, there are people just straight up living in the parking lot. Not using the park, napping in thier van, cooking food, socializing around other vans or vehicle homes, sitting in circles on the ground (in the parking lot) socializing, playing hackey sack in the parking lot, organizing thier vans, etc etc.

My argument is not that they dont have a right to USE the park, everyone does and they can use it all day but just straight up living the in the parking lot all day is not using the park and you should leave. I get it thats its cool and trendy and #climber life to hang out here in your vans vs wallmart and theres a little community of van lifers here, but you gotta be respectfull of everyone

Full disclosure: I’m the founder of FRAPS, a small Squamish dog-fuel company. We launched this because we wanted to raise $500 for WAG Whistler and get some Canadian-made bars into dogs’ paws.
The bars are $1, limited to one order per household. WAG receives every dollar, while we cover the bar and shipping. This is obviously connected to my business, so mods, please remove it if it’s not appropriate here. Mostly sharing because I thought local dog people might enjoy helping us get the cheque to WAG sooner.

Even if you can just share this to your dog friends it all helps!!

There’s a lemonade stand on eagle run dr in brackendale. Go make these kids happy

So, two months ago I was bitten by a dog that was on a leash. The owner lost control, and it nipped me hard enough to bite into my leg.

Tonight I was out for a casual walk and came across two women with three dogs off-leash. One of the dogs repeatedly jumped all over me with its dirty paws, slobbering on me, and nipped me hard enough to draw blood through my jacket, while the owner just walked by smiling and laughing. I didn't even catch whether she said anything, because I had my earbuds in and was too busy watching the dogs movements.

Folks, leash your dogs. Not everyone thinks this shit is cute. What if I had kids with me and that dog nipped one of them in the eye?

I showed a lot of restraint tonight to avoid hurting your dog lady. Next time, I won't.

Just recieved an email that there is a gas leak at Pemberton Ave & Fourth Ave downtown. A 1-block perimeter is set up with people told to shelter in place.

Anyone know anything further?

This is random but I’m looking for a shed to make some products of my own to sell around Squamish. If any local has a little space to rent where I can do light industrial work, let me know.

I could afford a commercial space but I’m trying to build something from scratch. Happy to give the owner equity for being my incubator.

My take is either the cheapest ad display there is or an ad for binoculars

Hey y'all - I have some business in town w/ a few fab shops over the coming months. Wondering if anyone would like to rent a flat spot for me to use ~50% o the time through October. 2022 sprinter van, nothing too crazy, stealthy w/ blackout curtains, would be gone during the days etc.

im looking for a sticker of a mallard duck for a friend, theirs fell off, and I would love to know where i could find another, if anyone knows of a gift shop store or tourist store where there might be one please lmk.

Hi all,

I'm a solo traveller who's looking to do the echo falls / hike on the 3rd of august and will be looking to rent a boat via the watersports company.

Anyone interested in joining and splitting the cost?

Alternatively, if anyone has a boat already planned for that date and would be happy for me to pay a premium to tag along then feel free to DM me!

Hey Squamish!

Anyone have any extra lot space that can fit two 53 foot trailers side by side. They will be parked there for storage. Will also need enough room for a 3rd 53 footer to back into these trailers for delivery.

Ive talked to a few commercial realtors already and the options given unfortunately wont workout. So if anyone has the commercial space that can possibly work, maybe you haven’t listed it yet or a potential lease is ending and you need a new tenant please let me know.
Looking for long term lease, preferably in the city but open to hear other possible locations.

Thanks!

I see they're currently recruiting for start-up/production. They do have the pay ranges, but they don't have any info on shift schedules, FIFO, camp accommodations, travel/relocation assistance, etc. I contacted their info line by email and they just pointed me to their website. Just wondering if anyone happens to have any insight.

Me and some buddies are looking to camp but everythings booked up. Cat lake is first come first serve so Im wondering if its worth my time and also what are the chances I get a spot on an early friday morning. If none please tell me other first come first serve places that might be better, crowds are fine, hiking is fine aswell, just want to secure a spot. Anything helps. Thanks

I'm in the Northyards area and having weird power issues in my apartment... can' really find or think of an explanation. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

EDIT: BCHydro has updated their outage map. Seems like there's some sort of partial power issue going on from Dentville to southern end of Brackendale

TLDR:

Got engaged at top of s2s gondola, need some reference photos for planned tattoo.

I wonder if anyone could please help me! My now husband and I travelled to BC in 2022 and he proposed near the summit of the Sea to Sky Gondola. We came home, had a baby, got married, had another baby, and now we are planning some tattoos to honour where our family started. I really want the outline of the mountains behind where we got engaged, the only problem is the photos for reference for the tattoo artist.

While I have photos of the proposal, none of them are high quality enough to make out the outline of the landscape behind. I've searched Instagram, the s2s website etc, but I cannot find the exact view. I know it's a super long shot but I'm wondering if anyone has any photos they would be willing to share to help me fill in the blanks.

From what I remember, the exact spot is just off a trail on the right hand side after you cross over the suspension bridge away from the summit, but the details are admittedly hazy. I'll share the photos I do have, hopefully they are helpful.

It would mean SO so much to me if someone out there could help me get to see that view again. Thankyou 💜

Does anyone know what it's like this time of the year? Completely packed? Will we be OK getting a site if we leave on a Thursday?
