Ocean, its easy to forget that Squamish is situated exactly
between one of the world's great cities, Vancouver and North
America's best ski resort, Whistler Blackcomb.

town.
During recent years the town has been undergoing a real transition,
now known as the outdoor recreation capital of Canada with new
residents seeking an active outdoor oriented lifestyle
