COMPLETED December 2020
An aging radio tower on Thunderbird Ridge is being replaced. The tower is a critical piece of public safety infrastructure, providing radio communications for Squamish Fire Rescue, Bylaw and Public Works. It is not used for any high frequency cellular, LTE or 5G services.
The tower is nearing end of life and poses a potential safety risk, especially during wind storms.
