Join us THIS FRIDAY, for the District of Squamish's free community movie screening of SCRAP – a documentary film by Stacey Tenenbaum. Discover the vast and strangely beautiful places where things go to die and meet the people who collect, restore, and recycle the world's scrap.
SCRAP scratches beneath flaking paint and rusting metal to reveal the beauty and pathos in the ugliness we leave behind. Watch the trailer here: https://scrapdoc.ca/

Press Release: BELOVED SQUAMISH REBUILD IN DIRE STRAITS, MAY HAVE TO CLOSE DOORS: FOUNDER
Squamish ReBuild is issuing an SOS to the community in the hopes that a local organization, business, or group of individuals is willing to step in and take over the not-for-profit and return it to a financially sustainable venture.
“We need strong, new leadership with fresh energy, passion and ideas, to take over the reins by December 31,” said founder and board member Inis LeBlanc.
Established in 2011, Squamish ReBuild Society is a not-for-profit social enterprise that diverts reusable construction “waste” from the landfill and provides community members with affordable, quality building supplies. Its vision is to fundamentally change the way Squamish thinks about, and deals with, construction “waste” – saving both builders and consumers money in the long run and reducing their environmental impact.
“We are devastated at the thought of closing our doors after 11 amazing years, but we’ve reached a point where someone else needs to step in,” said LeBlanc, adding an injection of cash would also be required to pay off some debt and help in the transition to new leadership. “Without those two pieces, we won’t have any other choice but to fold.”
A number of significant challenges have led to the situation including a board of directors without future capacity, challenges finding qualified staff, site-drainage issues and a post-Covid shift in spending.
“Squamish ReBuild has played such an important role in building our community capacity over the last decade. It would be a huge loss to no longer have it, especially with the rising cost of building supplies, and the fact that the Squamish landfill is nearing capacity,” said LeBlanc.
“Squamish has always been full of tremendously passionate, community-oriented individuals who work hard and are keen to give back and help make the world a better place and we’re hopeful that Squamish will once again come through.”
