Here’s where to get what you need, Squamish

A continually-updated list of essential services openings and closures
list

The advent of the coronavirus has disrupted business throughout town.

The provincial health officer's orders have prompted a swath of closures and service reductions.

It's no longer obvious where you can go to get what you need.

The Chief has compiled the latest on where you can find what you need.

Groceries, Pharmacies and Drug Stores

Save-On Foods

The store has reduced its operating hours to between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to give workers a chance to restock and rest, as demand has been higher than ever. It's still open every day.

It also has implemented an early-morning shopping hour from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. for seniors, people with disabilities and the vulnerable. This allows for shopping in a more accommodating environment, while creating social distancing.
