Return-It Fundraiser
Community Members, if you've ever wondered how to support our many local Rotary initiatives, here is a simple way. Return your beverage containers to our local Return-It Depot. See the attached instructions. 
 
Those Rotarians who attended our last meeting received stickers to adhere to your beverage recycling bags. Thanks to everyone who has returned beverage containers to the Return-It Express Depot in Squamish. This initiative has the potential to raise significant funds for our club. 
 
I will be bringing recycling bags and more express stickers for these bags to the next meeting.
 
I've attached instructions on returning your beverage containers which will put money directly back into our Rotary Club account. 
 
Thank you for your help with this. 
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Squamish Climate Action Plan
Posted on Apr 25, 2024
Our guest speaker today was Ian Picketts, Manager of Sustainability and Climate Change at the District of Squamish.
The District has developed a Community Climate Action Plan which has a target of reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45% by 2030, and to be net carbon neutral by 2050.
The plan concentrates on Mitigation - actions that reduce GHG emissions. It will address 3 main areas - waste, transportation and buildings.
Work is under way on projects related to improving deconstruction practices, reducing embodied carbon in buildings, expanding our landfill gas collection system, constructing EV infrastructure and bringing a team of youth to Squamish to work on climate change projects over the summer of 2024..

Challenges Facing local News Media
Posted on Feb 29, 2024
Editor Jennifer Thuncher and Publisher Sarah Strother from The Squamish Chief joined us to talk about the challenges facing local news media. Some of the main comments were:
• the Squamish Chief has a great team of dedicated and hard-working staff.
• readership is the key; readership drives advertising which is almost 100% of the paper's revenue.
• the paper version Chief went free to expand readership.
• currently 5500-6000 copies are printed weekly and distributed around town.
• most of the readership is now online with 350,000 articles viewed per month. 
• the Meta ban on Canadian news has meant even more effort is being made to drive readership to the Squamish Chief website.
• the daily newsletter email has been very successful in keeping people up to date with what's happening in our community.
