We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Dara Sklar and the Squamish Squash Club for their recent and extremely kind donation made as a result of the 2024 Squash Club Tournament held in memory of:

Neil Metcalf

Don Gunn

Brian Pollock (wife: Deb)

Paul Marlatt

The tournament was a lot of fun, and ran all day Sunday, Dec 1st. The team format led to a tie in the morning round between the teams, and led to a rousing playoff right before the afternoon round.

Thank you for your continued support, Squamish Squash Club and Dara Sklar!

Thank you Carmen!

Our mini-training session was a wonderful success!

,

This past week we held our first mini-training session: Facilitating a Grief & Loss Walking Group

Facilitating a Grief & Loss Walking Group is such an impactful way to support others. Carlee Baker’s insights were invaluable, especially in sharing practical tips for facilitating these sensitive discussions. This was a great opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers and learn from their experiences as well. These kinds of sessions really help build confidence and foster a supportive community.

Brackendale Fall Fair a Success!
