Squamish letter: Things can be as we hope

'Imagine a community where housing was built for the people, not profit. Imagine that this is possible.'

Imagine a community that gave back to people what they put in, where they have the opportunity and financial means to make the right decisions for themselves and their families.

Imagine a sustainable community that supports its residents now and long into the future. Imagine a community of opportunity that is built for and by those who compose it. Imagine a community where the goods and services produced in the community were—first and foremost —for the betterment of its residents.

Imagine a community where housing was built for the people, not profit. Imagine that this is possible.

A sustainable community has everything it needs to sustain itself. A collective purpose resonates throughout it—with its resources and the efforts of its people being directed towards supporting one another.

A shared purpose and a commitment to care for each other unites us. Rather than working to serve ourselves, we support the community, and in turn, the community supports us. We, as a community, are greater than the sum of our parts.

Our vision is a community that enriches the lives of all its members. Hope alone will not bring about the future we desire. We are the benefactors and beneficiaries of our efforts. We are both the supporters and the supported. We can create the community we desire and deserve. We are the change that we have been waiting for. 

We must stop waiting. We must start building. Squamish, do you have what it takes? 

We think you do!
