Drop-in to chat with Mayor Armand Hurford on Monday, November 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Municipal Hall (Council Chambers). This conversation will focus on the Ten-Year Financial Plan and how it delivers services and programs to support Squamish today and into the future.

The Financial Plan impacts us all, every day. Each time you turn on a tap, visit a District park, or walk down a street, you are seeing the budget at work.

Does the Draft Financial Plan align with your community priorities? What have we missed? Visit letstalksquamish.ca/budget-2026 to learn more about the budget, ask a question, and follow along as important decisions are being made. All are welcome!

RSVP is encouraged to communications@squamish.ca.
