Welcome to tem cháyilhen, the time of the salmon run.

As the seasons begin to change across our Skwxwú7mesh-ulh temíx̱w (Squamish traditional territory), salmon return to the waters throughout the territory. tem cháyilhen (September, salmon run time) marks this important time of year and offers an opportunity to recognize the connections between our People, the water, the land, and the changing seasons.

Squamish Nation wishes everyone a safe, healthy, and meaningful tem cháyilhen as we welcome the beginning of the fall season.

Our Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim (Squamish Language) is shared for use and understanding among our People, from the youngest to the oldest.

🐻🌲 We’ve had recent bear activity reported in Squamish Valley, particularly around Fergie's Landing, where a bear and her three cubs have been spotted.

As we enjoy the beautiful outdoors in our Valley, let’s remember to stay vigilant and respectful of our wildlife neighbours.

Good things to keep in mind: Maintain a safe distance from bears and other wildlife; If you’re hiking, please secure your food and eliminate any outdoor attractants.

If you witness any bear incidents or have concerns, please report them to the Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277.

The North Shore Elders Centre expansion project, led by Ta na wa Shéway I7x̱w ta Úxwumixw (Planning & Capital Projects), remains on schedule for completion by the end of 2026, with Elders expected to begin moving back in by January 2027.

Recent project work includes installing new windows, interior finishings, as well as re-establishing service connections such as hydro, water, and sewer.

More than double the size of the original, the new Elders Centre will be able to accommodate up to 140 Elders and features larger gathering spaces, an expanded kitchen, a traditional medicine garden, and a dedicated arts and culture area co-created by Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Elders.

During construction on the Centre, access to the Shaker Church and Longhouse is being maintained.
