I am already contributing to Squamish Access through ongoing work on visual communication. Joining the board aligns responsibility with that work and allows me to contribute at a strategic level, take accountability, and help shape long term direction. What do you value about climbing in Squamish? I value that climbing in Squamish is built on stewardship rather than assumption. Access here exists because of ongoing effort, coordination, and respect for the land and local community, and that foundation is what allows the area to evolve and grow responsibly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/b5afa437-49dd-4283-97bd-e4473da0aaba/Photo_20171001_094310.jpg News - 2026 AGM: Board Election Candidates - Greg Lindstrom (Currently a Board Associate) Why are you interested to be on the SAS board? I have been a part of the Squamish climbing community for quite a few years and would like to contribute my skills to build upon the hard work of past and present members. What do you value about climbing in Squamish? Squamish has world class rock climbing and it has remained safe and accessible due to the hard work of SAS volunteers. We need to continue this invaluable work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/9b395558-dd8b-4d5e-abf6-4e66f39b0c98/unnamed.jpeg News - 2026 AGM: Board Election Candidates - Emma Davy Why are you interested to be on the SAS board? I am a long-time (or relatively long-time, 10 years!) Squamish resident, but newer to climbing (2.5 years). I care deeply for Squamish and the wellness of the community from an environmental and spiritual standpoint. Getting to be involved with climbing has provided me a tremendous amount - new adventures and view points, and new community of people, a sense of belonging, and an environment to improve and learn. I believe I have a valuable skill-set to give back to Squamish via the SAS and think there is value to having newer climbers along with those who are lifelong athletes, on the board. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/02a1b745-0833-4843-96b4-b9ce3ab2c67f/jesse.jpg News - 2026 AGM: Board Election Candidates - Jesse Godlington Why are you interested to be on the SAS board? I moved to Squamish to be close to climbing, and access to high-quality climbing areas is central to both my personal life and my professional work. Advocating for the long-term protection, stewardship, and responsible use of the places I climb and guide is very important to me. I see SAS as essential to maintaining that access, and I would like to contribute my time and experience to support that work. What do you value about climbing in Squamish? I value the proximity, quality, variety, and sheer volume of climbing available in Squamish. The accessibility of world-class climbing so close to town is unique. These opportunities exist because of the ongoing efforts of SAS and the broader climbing community, and I deeply appreciate the work that goes into preserving and improving these areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/651238c6-86a1-4c2b-8af1-d2a4e261e81a/12686916-43d4-4cdc-a9fc-02fdb7eef458.png News - 2026 AGM: Board Election Candidates - Kushwant Bussawah Why are you interested to be on the SAS board? I've been a member of the climbing community for around 10 years now, and a Squamish one for about 6. Over the years I have seen SAS grow into a more action focused society and I want to be part of it, and give back to my community by advocating for our sport and passion. I have also seen major growth in our sport and I believe that having some more diversity at the board level would also promote the organization and it's goals. What do you value about climbing in Squamish? Squamish climbing is a good mix of the wild west and regulations-based. We have one of the best views in the country almost anywhere and we are part of the fabric of the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/6aabca00-be1e-4a0c-801d-afaebb1c8be4/PXL_20210114_204846142%2Bcopy.jpg News - 2026 AGM: Board Election Candidates - Toby Foord-Kelcey Why are you interested to be on the SAS board? I am applying to (re)join the board for three reasons. One is that several continuing board members have encouraged me to do so. Second, there are some neglected access files that I would like to work on. In particular, finding a long-term stable home for the climber-purchased land parcels in the Smoke Bluffs, currently held reluctantly by the FMCBC. ( I played a lead role in 2020/2021, independent of SAS, in preventing a stealth sale of that land to District of Squamish. ) Finally I have spent the last 18 months working on the Economic Impact project for SAS and would prefer to handle any issues arising from the public release from within the board rather than outside. https://squamishaccess.ca/news/2024223sas-annual-report-2023-s624m monthly 0.5 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/533d907d-b60e-4dc4-b181-ec7a5192be05/SASFinance.png News - SAS Annual Report, 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://squamishaccess.ca/news/202525annual-report monthly 0.5 2026-01-26 https://squamishaccess.ca/news/202522board-candidates monthly 0.5 2025-02-03 https://squamishaccess.ca/news/2025131bylaw-and-constitution-changes monthly 0.5 2025-01-31 https://squamishaccess.ca/news/2025118we-are-looking-for-new-board-members monthly 0.5 2025-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/de9a4001-1746-45be-8c67-13ea137cc78b/SAS_org+draft+2024_25+appointed+AlexEdits.pptx.png News - We are looking for new board members - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://squamishaccess.ca/news/2025113ue8ye0tb5xg6swbhiiu2cr1qle2bnr monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://squamishaccess.ca/news/2025113district-of-squamishs-paid-parking-proposal monthly 0.5 2025-01-14 https://squamishaccess.ca/news/202447reporting-peregrine-falcon-sightings monthly 0.5 2024-04-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/109bfd00-b88b-4145-b1a8-654eb961100e/falcon-3009508_1920+%281%29.jpg News - Reporting Peregrine Falcon Sightings - Make it stand out Image by Sven Lachmann from Pixabay https://squamishaccess.ca/news/2024322seeking-applicants-for-senior-manager-independent-contractor monthly 0.5 2024-03-22 https://squamishaccess.ca/news/2024223sas-annual-report-2023 monthly 0.5 2024-02-24 https://squamishaccess.ca/news/202424agm-board-election-candidates monthly 0.5 2024-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/abcea6ac-32ab-42c1-baaa-9bca405e0ff8/J+Howe+4.jpg News - AGM: Board Election Candidates - John Howe (Incumbent) Why are you keen to continue on the board?

Long routes, cragging, bouldering. I love that I can go climbing roadside or on an adventure in the deep dark coastal forest.

My hope is to increase awareness of the traditional place names and explore the cultural significance of the places we adventure. A goal is to include more than just a land acknowledgement in our guidebooks, perhaps post information at the crags, and even supporting the Skwxwu7mesh nation in creating a resource that speaks to the land and traditions of this area as it relates to the areas we climb. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/73eddbe3-1193-4f81-a212-9b5ee87fdc10/ericphotoSAS.jpeg News - AGM: Board Election Candidates - Eric Hughes Why are you keen to join the board?

Trail building and maintenance Wondering how to contribute to your local crags? Trail building and maintenance are foundational to SAS’s stewardship initiatives. Every year we host several opportunities for volunteers to join the fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/1588367665954-IYJFP490O1GHH6GMFRZQ/2-1.jpg Our Work - Re-bolting initiative Local guides are contracted to replace aging bolts and anchors. If you come across an anchor or bolt that you feel needs replacing, please contact us with the details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/1587918123439-HNSR9RX0K8H3VT7IT75W/Adjustments.jpeg Our Work - Peregrine Falcon Habitat Protection SAS works with BC Parks to create a reporting program that allows climbers to participate in identifying seasonal nests of these threatened birds. Areas with active nesting are off-limits from March 15 – July 31. Closures will be on the BC Parks Website and publicized by SAS. Please report any sightings to: info@squamishaccess.ca https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/913e908b-e9ca-45ea-955a-91516dad59cc/Little+brown+bats+in+cave_Cory+Olson.jpg Our Work - Bat Reporting BC is home to 15 bat species; half of the species are listed as species at risk. The Squamish Access Society has partnered with BC Parks and the Ministry of WLRS to collect bat data from cliff habitats. While climbing, you can report bats on your phone using the iNaturalist Canada app. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/17531bdb-5623-4b11-8e5c-f29c084ad57c/Community+Bat+Logo+2017+bxw.jpg Our Work - Reports will NOT lead to route closures but will help inform conservation management decisions.

Largely operating behind closed doors, in a small community of outcasts and oddballs, SAS has evolved over the years as our small community has exploded. We welcome the changes and are excited to meet the next generations of rock lovers! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7257299363663a9a1c30b2/1585939588938-5RGR5XJQ938M9542WH8H/18839578_1687310104643177_6491777241421858596_o.jpg Home - Get involved We depend on our community. Donations are appreciated, but we recognize this is not an option for everyone. Time and energy on the ground is where the magic really happens—and we know climbers have tons of that ;).
