Placemaking for a lively, sustainable, safe & healthy Squamish
OurSquamish is a community non-profit dedicated to enhancing Squamish’s urban public spaces for a lively, inclusive, sustainable, safe & healthy Squamish. Through people-driven projects, education, and advocacy, OurSquamish is committed to building equitable public spaces that support the diversity of our community.
Take our public spaces survey!
Successful public spaces are inclusive of the diversity of people present in our communities and create a social space for everyone in society to participate in. They provide people with opportunities to come together and engage with one another.
Please participate in this survey to help us better understand how people use Squamish's public spaces in order to determine how they can be improved for the benefit of the whole community. Completion should take about a minute, though feel free to spend more time and comment on multiple locations. No personal information will be collected.
What We Do
We work with other non-profit organizations, community builders, businesses and the District of Squamish to advance projects such as public furniture, shared streets, community events, and more. As an independent voice for public space, we promote creative, community-oriented urban design and foster public dialogue on important civic issues.
