Transit Leader of the month!

‘On the bus with Squamish CAN’ aims to create Transit Leaders in our community, residents who pledge to ride the bus at least once a month.

January Transit Leader Rob Michaels, the night voice from Mountain FM, challenged Chamber of Commerce Manager Kenny Music to take the pledge in February. Kenny accepted the challenge with a big smile, stating with certainty that “you can make a change in the world”, and went ‘On the bus with Squamish CAN’ on February 5th.

Enjoying the ride!

Squamish CAN’s Transportation group coordinator Brooke Carere and Chamber of Commerce Manager Kenny Music, Transit Leader - February 2010


While ‘On the bus with Squamish CAN’, Kenny pledged to ride the bus at least once a month, which he hasn’t been doing until now because, coming from a big city, Calgary, Squamish seems too small a town for transit; driving is fast and easy. However, he was amazed by the bus route and suggested a bus ride will be a great way to show off the community to his many visitors. During the trip, he enjoyed views and areas completely unknown to him.

Who did Kenny Music challenge to take the pledge? You will get your answer next month!

Dumping our Landfills was the title of a 2-part Melting Pot movie series and a field-trip dedicated to waste during January. The movie+discussion nights focused on the subject of landfills and how to move away from them. A field-trip to the composting facility near Whistler served as a good complement to the events. See photos below and read more here.
