The Squamish Community Foundation first partnered with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives – BC Office and Living Wage BC to calculate the living wage for Squamish in 2023. We will continue to release Living Wage Reports for Squamish in November each year.
The living wage is the hourly rate that a full-time worker must earn to cover essential expenses, avoid chronic financial stress and participate in their community. The rate supports a basic, decent standard of living, but without many of the comforts or extras that many take for granted.
As costs continue to rise, particularly for housing, childcare and food, Squamish’s living wage has risen to $28 per hour for 2025 — 4.6% higher than the 2024 rate of $26.76 per hour.
Vital Signs uses local knowledge to measure the vitality of a community and support action towards improving collective quality of life. Local data gathered through the program is used to support evidence-based, locally-relevant solutions to improve the quality of life at the community level. Vital Signs aims to inspire civic engagement, to provide focus for public debate, and to help a range of actors take action and direct resources where they will have the greatest impact
