Squamish residents can tell the District where they would spend more and where they would spend less in 2027. The new council is now discussing the 2027 budget. The District asks people to follow along over the next few months and share input on LetsTalkSquamish.
What is happening
The District of Squamish is working on its budget for 2027. The talks continue now with the new council, which took office this fall at the inaugural council meeting.
The District is asking the public to follow along over the next few months as the proposed budget is discussed.
The question for residents
The District asks people to think about one simple choice:
- What would you invest more in?
- What would you invest less in?
The budget decides how the District spends money on local services and projects. It is also tied to property taxes.

Who is at the table
