Squamish Route 1 is no longer cancelled this afternoon (Tuesday, September 14, 2021) and will resume as normal.

Applications are now open until September 13th for the Squamish Youth Council. This is a unique opportunity during the 2021-2022 school year for fifteen youth to work with local agencies, Mayor and Council on issues that matter to youth in Squamish. Time commitment is one meeting a month for the duration of the school year- more details including application form can be found here https://squamish.ca/rec/youth/.

Due to the unavailability of school bus drivers, we are unable to run Route 5 in Squamish tomorrow (Friday, September 10, 2021), which will affect school busses servicing Don Ross, Howe Sound Secondary and Squamish Elementary. The service will resume Monday morning. We apologize for this inconvenience.
