Advance voting starts tomorrow!
This local election is critical, and who we elect will shape the future of Squamish for decades to come.
We engaged with candidates, and asked them to complete a questionnaire to find out where they stand on climate action and other key issues affecting Squamish.
Step 1: Get informed
- How much should Woodfibre LNG pay in taxes?
- How will candidates advocate for the health of Squamish residents as Woodfibre LNG plans to start flaring in mid-2027?
- Where do they stand on three proposed development projects?
- How will candidates address climate-related risks to increase our community’s resilience?
- What steps will they take to work towards reconciliation with Indigenous peoples?
- Will they commit to climate action policies and principles?
then
Step 2: Vote!
Advanced voting starts on October 7, 2026.
General Voting Day is October 17, 2026.

Voting tip!
When you vote, only vote for the candidates you want elected. If that is one mayor and four councillors, only put down those five names.
For council, the top six candidates with the most votes are elected, so if you vote for someone that you don't really want elected, that may bump your preferred candidates out of the top six.

Thank you for being part of a healthy democracy!
