Alternative Approval Petition

Thank You for having a look at this petition. We believe the citizens and taxpayers of Squamish should have their say on approximately $28 million in expenditures the District is planning.

This is a required legal process for the District to borrow more money, and for citizens to have their say if their priorities are different.   The District info is here:

If we get the 1,469 needed petitioners for any of the expenditures, we will submit the petition to the District of Squamish and request a referendum or a re-evaluation of the spending.

Select "Yes" for the projects you are opposed to and add the required contact info at the bottom.

Privacy Promise: All info will be deleted after the petition is submitted to the District of Squamish (except email addresses people have given us for updates.
