Before you go

Howe sweet the Sound

We hope your journey through this extraordinary landscape has sparked curiosity, awe, and a deeper connection to the natural world. The temperate rainforest is more than just a beautiful place — it’s a living system, shaped by connection, resilience, and balance.

The Átl’ḵa7tsem / Howe Sound UNESCO Biosphere Region is much the same. Like the rainforest itself, it thrives through collaboration, diversity, and care. The Howe Sound Biosphere Region Initiative Society brings together communities, scientists, and Indigenous knowledge keepers to protect biodiversity, support sustainable livelihoods, and shape a healthy future for all.

At the Squamish Canyon, we're proud to play a part in connecting people to this incredible region. We encourage you to keep exploring, learning, and sharing what you discover. Every choice — from supporting local conservation to simply treading lightly — helps protect the rainforest, the fjord, and the life they support.

Until next time, thank you for walking with us.
