Welcome to Squamish Valley Rod & Gun Club !

Squamish Valley Rod and Gun Club - Conservation and Recreation

The Squamish Valley Rod and Gun Club would like to invite Squamish area residents to join our club. We offer outdoor recreation for virtually 12 months of the year as well as the opportunity to prepare for hunting in a safe and controlled area.

We also have a very active Archery group which includes fully qualified junior instructors. The local Junior Olympic Archery Program grew out of this support. Other junior groups that use our facilities are the Air Cadets, Army Cadets and Cub Scouts. We hosted and supported appropriate portions of the BC Wildlife program - Becoming an Outdoor Woman. We maintain representation on the Squamish Estuary Committee and in Estuary maintenance.

We provide training facilities for a broad range of law enforcement groups including RCMP, West Van police, Fisheries, Conservation and Railway officers. We expect to be an essential part of the training facilities for the security personnel required for 2010.

In the past, as many residents will remember, it was quite OK to drop around to the range and pay a day fee, before heading out to the woods. That is no longer possible as Federal regulations require that we NOT be open to drop-in public access. We are Members Only. Guests must be accompanied by a member. There is a locked gate.

Our membership fee is a very modest $60 per year, $15 for Seniors, $25 Juniors, and $15 Spouse. Membership application forms may be downloaded from our web site.

Please check the calendar for important dates and information.
