SPLASH PARK AND PLAYGROUND DESIGN SURVEY CLOSES MARCH 1

Have your say on the design of the NEW Splash Park and Playground at Brennan Park Recreation Centre!

Share your thoughts and ideas by taking our survey on Let's Talk Squamish! The survey closes at 5 p.m. on March 1.

The new splash park will be designed with the consideration of water conservation, ongoing costs, drainage and other requirements. The splash park and playground will be built with a focus on inclusion and accessibility for all to enjoy.

Thank you to the Squamish Lions Club for their generous donation of $10,000 to contribute towards the construction of the inclusive and accessible splash park and playground at Brennan Park Recreation Centre!

ZERO WASTE

Do you have used books to dispose of?

Please do not put books in your recycling tote—Recycle BC does not accept hard cover and paperback books, such as novels, text books and reference material as the manufacturing process to make these products prevents them from being easily recycled. 

Instead, drop your used books off at the Squamish Community Bookstore at 38029 Cleveland Avenue! If they are damaged or have reached the end of their lifespan, please dispose of in garbage.
