John Harvey is on the last stretch for his Mamquam River Project and he needs our help.

The Mamquam River Access Society (MRAS) is in the process of fundraising to build a not-for-profit campground on 8 acres of Crown land beside the Mamquam River in Squamish. This vision began in 2013 when we ‘connected the dots’ on land-use while recognizing Squamish’s need for affordable camping.
