Squamish Environment Society

Volunteer Interpreter Program

Volunteer interpreters share their knowledge and love of bald eagles with people from around the world. This program is a wonderful way to learn about bald eagles, meet interesting people and have fun.

To learn more about becoming a volunteer this year, see the training day event.

District Council is asking the Community for comments and feedback on these two issues:

1. Sustainability Block - The Sustainability Block project proposes that a specific block (or cross-section of blocks) be redeveloped as a showcase of design innovations for streetscapes, landscapes, and technologies.
2. "Proposed joint-venture run of river hydro-electric project" tell us what you think about the possibility of Squamish partnering on a Community Power Project.

The 2008 Annual Report will also be available to the public.

It is important that you let your local and provincial politicians know how you feel about this issue. The decision on whether the project moves ahead or not rests with the community of Squamish which is represented by our elected Mayor and Council.

GAS development will again be open for public comment from June 19th to July 19th. Send comments to the EAO (Environmental Assessment Office) at eaoinfo@gov.bc.ca, attend the public meeting and contact politicians.

EAO Open House: June 24th at Sea to Sky Hotel, from 5-9pm.
