Notice of Pool Closure

After a recent safety inspection, Vancouver Coastal Health has determined that the Brennan Park Pool deck does not meet the required anti-slip standards for wet surfaces and has ordered an immediate pool closure until further notice as a health and safety precaution.

Vancouver Coastal Health treats facility closures as high priority given the impacts and importance to the community. District staff are working to remedy the slipping hazard and minimize the length of closure.

We understand that residents will feel frustrated by this situation, and we are doing everything we can to re-open quickly and safely. Thank you for your patience while we work through this process.

Wildlife Alert: Coyotes

The Conservation Officer Service and the District of Squamish are advising the public to be aware and take precautions as coyotes enter their breeding season.

During this time of year, coyotes may follow or attempt to "escort" you (and your dog) away from their territory as they work to protect it. If this happens, follow these safety tips: 

  • Stay calm and do not panic. 
  • Keep your dog on a leash and close by. If you have a small dog or a child with you, pick them up. 
  • Back away slowly while maintaining a safe distance. Do not run. 
  • If the coyote approaches, shout and wave your hands to scare it away. 

For wildlife sightings or encounters, please call the Conservation Officer Service 24-hour hotline at 1-877-952-7277.
