    I am a student at Howe Sound Secondary School I think I would make a great addition to Youth Council, and can’t wait to get involved, learning and hearing others out!

    Dear Grant,

    I am not in the habit of writing to an organization like SYC but I was so very impressed with your CHANGE IS INEVITABLE, SO PREPARE FOR IT as seen in the Squamish Chief - September 1, 2022.

    I found the article refreshing, upbeat, and extremely well crafted. It was a joy to read and I look forward to seeing you in print again soon.

    Very best wishes,
    JOY Moon

    I am very interested in having a voice as a youth in Squamish, getting involved, learning and hearing others, and helping spread the voice and opinions of people my age!

    Where? I see no address where this Center is going to be.So many wonderful programs being organized for Youth...
    When is the District going to recognize that there is a Senior population in Squamish that needs the same attention the Youth are getting. Don’t sideline we Seniors!!
