After a possible measles exposure, Squamish residents responded — with a more than 500 per cent vaccination increase since Feb. 22.

When drugs containing fentanyl were found near a Squamish elementary, locals — including the RCMP — found out through Facebook. Reporters Steven Chua and Keili Bartlett talk about how journalism goes beyond what you see online.

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.
