Our Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals
The Squamish Community Foundation, alongside many other Community Foundations across Canada, has committed to aligning our mission with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In many ways, the core of these 17 ambitious goals have been a part of our work since the beginning. We recognize the importance of aligning with this global agenda, understanding how these goals apply within our community, and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs by 2030. The SDGs are integrated into our granting process as well as Vital Signs report.
