SQUAMISH BC Squamish means “Mother of Wind” and is named after the peoples of the Coast Salish culture who live here today, and whose descendants have inhabited the region for millennia.

The area was first visited by Europeans when, in 1792, Captain George Vancouver and crew sailed up Howe Sound aboard the ship Discovery. Over the next century tens of thousands of traders and prospectors flocked to the port on their journey up to the Cariboo Gold Rush of 1858.

Squamish transitioned into a farming community in 1888 with the first non-native settlers. Forestry replaced the agrarian economy, and when a railway connecting Squamish to Vancouver was built in 1956 – followed by a road two years later – the community took steps towards welcoming the rest of the world.

The Squamish Museum, the West Coast Railway Heritage Park and log books at the Adventure Centre detail much of this history.

Known as the Outdoor Recreational Capital of Canada, Squamish is famous for its snow-capped peaks, lush rainforests, white-water rivers, ocean sound and the second largest granite monolith in the world—the Stawamus Chief. The incredible range of geological features—created from the interplay of volcanic activity and an ice age—attracts adventurers and sightseers year round.

On sunny days between May to September, Squamish’s thermal winds sweep up the valley, creating perfect conditions for sailing, kite-boarding and windsurfing. Other spring, summer and autumn activities include rock climbing, golfing, fishing and white-water rafting. Since Squamish has a mild

climate, many activities can be enjoyed all year, such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, flight seeing and gondola sightseeing. In the winter, travellers visit to experience eagle watching, backcountry skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling.

No matter the season, Squamish has plenty of community events, markets and festivals to keep the whole gang entertained, whether you’re looking for an intimate gathering, family-friendly entertainment, mountain-biking, running events or world-class festivals. In August, the Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival Showcases Squamish’s rich heritage.

The Squamish Farmers’ Market gathers together local farmers, foodies, artists and designers to offer a smorgasbord of culinary and artisanal delights.

A visit to Squamish is not complete without a hike up the Stawamus Chief. Formed from an ancient volcano, the Chief is in fact a magma chamber that was exposed when glaciers eroded the softer, surrounding rock during the last ice age. The view from the top encompasses downtown Squamish, the sparkling waters of Howe Sound, and the surrounding mountain peaks—a true reward for your efforts. For those who would like to experience the views from an alternate angle, take a ride on the Sea to Sky Gondola.

At the top, there are a number of viewing platforms, a breathtaking suspension bridge, and easy hikes toenjoy the ever-changing views as you circle around the Summit Trail Network.

Whether you’re seeking exciting activities, physical exertion, an adrenaline rush, or a simple connection with nature in a friendly, welcoming community, Squamish has it all. Enjoy your stay!

The

GARIBALDI Estates & SQUAMISH Business Park The Garibaldi Highlands and Garibaldi Estates are two areas with names which echo that of Squamish’s impressive Mount Garibaldi, whose namesake was Giuseppe Garibaldi, a 19th century Italian general. The mountain itself is a volcano that grew unusually when it exploded onto a massive glacier during the last ice age 10,000 years ago.

Many local residents have made their home in the Highlands, as the sunny area is built on the hillside benches that overlook the whole Squamish valley and the blue waters of Howe Sound. Garibaldi Estates, the adjacent valley hub, has a vibrant mix of residential, commercial and retail properties. Tantalus Road is Squamish’s restaurant row, with many ethnic eateries to choose from.

Just a few kilometres south, along the bends of the Mamquam River, The Squamish Valley Golf Club is popular for its classic parkland and five lakes built into the design. Brennan Park is a community recreational facility with ball and soccer fields, BMX track, skateboard park, mini bike skills area, bike wash, campground, pool, ice rink and civic centre.

Further south along Hwy 99 you’ll enter the Squamish Business Park. Hosting large, service-based businesses such as craft breweries, a distillery of fine spirits, a fitness centre, climbing gym, freestyle trampoline gym, automotive sales and repair shops, home building and furnishing stores, and manufacturing businesses, there is something for everyone!

DOWNTOWN Squamish Located at the north end of Howe Sound, the downtown quarter is the business hub of Squamish, and primed for an exciting expansion with the new Squamish Oceanfront development. Once an agricultural area and trading post in the 1890’s, the downtown area began to grow with the completion of a railway connection to Pemberton in 1914, as well as the construction of a deep sea dock and marina.

Now an economic centre, downtown Squamish offers a wide variety of amenities to explore, including specialty shops, boutiques, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, City Hall, public library, grocery stores, a post office, art galleries, retail shops, the Howe Sound Inn and Brewery and the Squamish Yacht Club.

One of the first stops you should make when you arrive in town, is to visit the Squamish Adventure Centre, located just off Highway 99 at Cleveland Avenue. You can’t miss the sweeping mountain architecture, huge glass windows and stone Inukshuk out front. Grab a coffee at Caffe Garibaldi while the kids zip around the play area, watch a movie in the 45 seat theatre, view the stunning 14 exquisitely carved log books, and learn about all of the activities and adventures you can do in Squamish at the Visitor Information Centre. The Squamish Adventure Centre also has a handy bike wash area, so you can clean your bikes at the end of your day.

From the downtown, it’s a short drive to access your next outdoor adventure in Squamish’s phenomenal natural surroundings, at the Sea to Sky Gondola, Shannon Falls, and the Stawamus Chief climbing routes and hiking trails.

Keeping People & Bears Safe in Squamish Squamish is located in prime black bear habitat, so whether you are hiking in the forest or strolling through a residential area, you may encounter a black bear. Seeing a bear can be a memorable experience, but to protect yourself and keep bears wild, it is important to understand how to behave around them. This requires an understanding of bears and their behavior as well

Learn bear talk If you encounter a bear… be bear smart!

You can often tell if there’s a bear in the area.

Bear signs include tracks, droppings (scat), or fur on tree bark. Trees may be clawed, bitten or rubbed. overturned rocks or logs, rotted wood that has been torn apart, fresh diggings and crushed vegetation.

Kasper

You can tell how a bear is feeling about your presence by reading their body language.

A relaxed bear is one that doesn’t pay much attention to you. They may not have seen you, or you may be far enough away that they do not perceive you as a threat.

What to do: Stay still and enjoy the show!

When a bear stands up on their back legs, they are likely curious and trying to identify you.

Grizzly bears may be encountered in and around Squamish.

Visit BearSmart.com for more information on encountering a grizzly. Extra caution is necessary! If a bear appears to be a threat to human safety or is destroying property, call 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP). For more information on vacationing in bear country or living with bears, email us at info@bearsmart.com or visit us online at www.bearsmart.com

What to do: Talk quietly to let the bear know that you are not a threat and slowly move away.

Remember: Bears are wild animals and while they may tolerate the presence of humans, they should never be approached or fed.

A stressed bear may display the following behaviour: moving away, climbing a tree, salivating, yawning, skittishness or jumping at sounds or movements. A female black bear will often tree her cub(s) when she feels threatened.

If you have invaded a bear’s personal space, they will huff (expel air loudly) and clack their teeth.

Bears may also slap the ground, lunge toward you or make short charges.

What to do: Back away, leave the area and allow the bear their personal space.

Bears are highly intelligent animals, sensitive to their surroundings and experiences with people.

Bear facts All bears can be dangerous in certain situations. Be • especially careful around a mother bear with cubs.

• downhill. They can run 15 m per second – faster than an Olympic sprinter!

•

Bears are strong swimmers and good climbers.

Bears have good eyesight, good hearing, and a • keen sense of smell.

Bears generally avoid contact with humans, but in rare • cases they may approach hikers or campers, especially when they are attempting to access your food.
