As there was some discussion about what's going on the Squamish Valley here I found this article from the local newspaper interesting. Included are comments from Roger Lewis a member of the Squamish Nation. He also made some observations about anglers who fish the river which may surprise some readers:

I’m going there this weekend bear hunting .  We always find  abandon camps.       It’s really bad when grab happens.      We have taken out 100s of pounds of garbage the surrey kids leave.  After the grad parties.     I’m sure we will be taking out more on Sunday. Also.

the homeless are really starting to be camped in the bushes all over the valley now. Multiple camps on the lower Cheakamus now plus almost any little nook or cranny has someone camped out in. Sad state of affairs up there from what it once was.

happening all over region 2 rivers. chilliwack, silver creek. quite a few on the fraser too. some are just pensioners who have no other choice.

not sure if anyone else uses the bradner rest area to drop the black water, looks like i'm in a different country.

Bradner is a homeless camp now, not a rest stop. I don't stop there anymore. I guess it moves the problem out of the city, but it's a terrible joke to play on tourists who might stop there, not knowing better.
