We love finding little #squamishsecrets like this: a beautifully moody #Squamish backdrop; a waterfront walkway; bike racks for our outdoorsy community; public art that represents our heritage (salmon); and a wonderful view of our marina. It's time to go #exploresquamish. Best bit - #downtownsquamish and our eclectic range of stores and eateries are just one street away, so you can enjoy a leisurely stroll and #21daysofchristmas . . . #salmon #bikerack #publicart #walkway #boardwalk #waterfront #marina #moody #seatosky #howesound #blindchannel #squamishchamber #adventuresinbusiness #supportlocal #bcbuylocal #squamishlife #squamishrocks

Day 3 tip: Buy Local Online. Support local businesses from the comfort of your home. Two out of every three dollars spent online in Canada goes to a U.S. multinational. You can buy B.C. when you buy online. On Amazon.ca click “Shop By Department” at the top left and you’ll find a “Made in Canada” section under “Handmade”. Businesses, Squamish has many amazing digital marketing and web designers who can help you enhance your online presence. #bcbuylocal #squamishchamber #adventuresinbusiness #supportlocal

Thank YOU!
Without the support of our sponsors and partners, our youth programming would not be possible.
Our goal is to make all our youth programs free and accessible to all youth. In 2020, we want to deliver Youth Leadership training at Don Ross Middle School and Howe Sound Secondary School. We want to offer quarterly Service Spotlight training to equip youth with essential frontline skills. And we we want to create inspiring events, such as a panel of young business leaders.
We have lofty goals and we are seeking partners and sponsors. We have already raised about 20% of our target, which means some programming will start in 2020.
There are many different ways you can help. If you would like to be a Squamish Youth Chamber Champion and help make our programming possible, please contact louise@squamishchamber.com.
