Rob Weys - For Council

Council candidate

Squamish is fractured, Rob Weys said, adding that he hopes to be one of the people elected to fix it. The father of three sons grew up in Langley, but spent his summers fishing in Squamish. After working on sailboats around the world the Caribbean, Hawaii and Australia Weys moved to Squamish, the one community he's always wanted to live in, he said. That was more than a decade ago.Last January, Weys set up an offshoot of a company he and his brother started in Langley Haymack Autoglass in town. Squamish has been good to him and his family, he said, and now it's time to give back."If you live somewhere, I think you've got to put some service back into the community," Weys said.Squamish is at a crossroads, Weys said. Everybody has different ideas of which way it should move in terms of its growth and economy. But the community needs to look at its top priority and tackle issues one-by-one, rather than chasing many ideas, Weys said.Transportation is one area that should be addressed, Weys said. Many residents commute to either Whistler or the North Shore for work. If those commuter routes become more viable, it will get the wheels moving on attracting more people to Squamish, followed by companies, Weys said."We have to market ourselves as a place to bring business," he said.
