North Yards Neighbourhood Park Update

As part of ongoing work to prepare the site for a future neighbourhood park, danger tree and invasive species (blackberry) removal will take place between March 30 and April 10, 2026.

The District invited the North Yards neighbourhood to share input on how the site is used and what residents value for the future park. To view engagement results, visit Let's Talk Squamish.

Mount Garibaldi Cemetery Maintenance

A gentle reminder that Parks crews will be conducting their annual grounds maintenance at Mount Garibaldi Cemetery through the spring and summer months. The District takes pride in maintaining the cemetery grounds to a standard that reflects its importance, and due to the intricate nature of the site, maintenance cannot be achieved unless grave adornments are removed from the grave sites.

Please remove flowers, artificial plants and any ornamentation (such as statues or angels and loose objects such as rocks, glass or metal items) from the grave marker by March 31.

Please note → Remaining items will be moved by staff and placed at main gates for a two-week period of collection. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Help Wildlife Stay Wild – Lock Your Totes

Bears are coming out of hibernation and an unlocked tote is an invitation to dinner. When we take action, we help keep bears wild and out of trouble.

Bylaw will be checking totes that are visible from the road and this will continue periodically throughout the spring to ensure they are locked. Each infraction of the Wildlife Attractant Bylaw may result in a warning, before resulting in a fine of $230 per day.

Did you know → As per the Wildlife Attractant Bylaw, totes must be locked at all times, even if empty, and only placed curbside and unlocked on the morning of collection day between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. – not the night before.

Learn more about the bylaw at squamish.ca/wildlife.
