Squamish Champion - Locals Supporting Locals

You know Squamish, you love Squamish, and Squamish locals are the best at supporting local businesses. Where to get tires changed? You know that one. How to get to Alice Lake? You got it.

Every time you recommend a business or give a tip or just be helpful, you are making our community stronger.

The Squamish Champions program is here to help you show your pride for Squamish, with tips and tools to enhance your local ‘know-how’, along with training to support you as a community ambassador. 

Squamish Champion topics include:

  • Customer service skills
  • Local business knowledge 
  • Links to Squamish Nation learning opportunities 
  • Ecology, wildlife and outdoor safety tips

Squamish Champions is made possible due to funding from the Province of BC. They have invested in the program in order to build an inclusive program that fosters engaged, informed and proud ambassadors of our community, where our residents and businesses support one another.
