Community Natural Gas Consumption | Squamish Community DashboardThis indicator measures all community natural gas consumption, which includes residential and commercial use but not industrial and institutional uses. This indicator is affected by population growth and also year-to-year weather variability.About this target:45% reduction in community natural gas consumption by 2030.Analysis:This information is tracked by Fortis BC and has been made available to the District of Squamish. Despite the increase in Squamish's population to 24,000, there has not been a significant rise in natural gas consumption as might have been expected, largely due to shifts in behavior and a preference for electrifying homes.Reason for monitoring:Buildings account for 28% of community emissions, and two of the six Big Moves in the Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP) are 'Construct Better Buildings' and 'Decarbonize Existing Buildings'. Significant growth is anticipated in Squamish, and it is important to meet this ambitious target while accommodating population growth. There are important opportunities to lower or avoid natural gas consumption in new buildings.

The survival, growth and fecundity of a transplanted barnacle population at the Squamish estuary, British Columbia, were studied for one year. The transplanted barnacles were found to show poor survival, fecundity and growth compared to a control population in West Vancouver. These were related to the prevailing stress conditions of low, fluctuating salinity and high turbidity at the estuary.
