Chiefs and elders in the Squamish Nation will review plans later this month for six digital billboards they say will generate much needed revenues for the band. The LED billboards measure three metres by nine metres and will display six advertising messages every minute. Planned locations are at Vancouver’s Burrard Street bridge (south end), West Van’s Marine Drive at Capilano Road, North Van’s Main Street offramp at Highway 1 and also Main Street and Mountain Highway, plus the Squamish Gaming Centre on Highway 99. If the Squamish Nation council approves the plan, the band will seek a billboard company to operate the signage. “The Squamish Nation, like most communities, needs new secure revenues in order to sustain important programs and services,” said Squamish Nation Chief Gibby Jacob in a release.
