Episode 3: Saving Squamish industrial space

Saving Squamish industrial space. What does skiing say about society?
1

Squamish is in danger of slowly losing its light industrial space. 

We talk about why allowing commercial-type businesses such as retailers, restaurants and gyms threatens to push out auto repair shops, heavy equipment outlets and other industrial spaces.

Also, a Quest professor thinks the time, money, and social standings of skiers could reveal some telling details about society.

We talk about how slopes can be a mirror to our world.

The Squamish Sound is about local news that impacts you. Journalists at The Squamish Chief newspaper examine the most important topics affecting the town. Once a week, every Friday.
