I moved here from the Lower Mainland 30 years ago; drawn by the small-town feel and the sense of space it offered. What I found was so much more — a true community. I cherish the proximity to the trails and often hike to a quiet, special spot where I can reflect and recharge. Living here means having nature at my doorstep, along with quiet, safe streets, friendly neighbours, and genuine connections everywhere I go.”

I have been to many places, and no matter how special they are in their own right, it is the drive up the sea to sky highway to Squamish and the close proximity to both the mountains and the ocean, that makes me feel like there is nowhere else I'd rather live. It is a truly stunning place to live.”

“I’ve lived in the Sea-to-Sky corridor for nearly 25 years, first in North Vancouver and later in Whistler. My previous work had me travelling the Sea to Sky Highway regularly, often passing through Squamish without fully appreciating what made the community so special. Nearly nine years ago, as our family grew and our housing needs evolved, Squamish made practical and financial sense. What I didn’t anticipate was how deeply connected I would feel to this place. Today, I truly recognize how remarkable this community is. I feel incredibly fortunate to be raising my two children here, surrounded by natural beauty, opportunity, and a strong sense of belonging. With complete confidence, I can say there’s nowhere else I’d rather call home. Squamish is where we’ve put down roots — and where we plan to stay.”
