Woodfibre LNG Announces 2026 Community Partnership Program Recipients, Supporting 76 Sea to Sky Organizations
Jul 17, 2026
Woodfibre LNG today announced the recipients of its 2026 Community Partnership Program, providing 83 grants to 76 non-profit and charitable organizations across Squamish and the Sea to Sky region. Since the program launched in 2021, Woodfibre LNG has granted more than $1 million to community organizations in the region.
This year’s recipients span the organizations that hold the Sea to Sky together: search and rescue teams and volunteer fire departments, the hospital foundation and hospice society, elementary schools and their parent advisory councils, Indigenous organizations, arts and heritage societies, seniors’ programs, food security initiatives, and dozens of local sports clubs from minor hockey to rugby to dragon boat.
For Woodfibre LNG, Squamish is home. It is where the company’s employees will live and raise their families, and where Woodfibre LNG expects to operate for the next 40 years and beyond. With that long-term presence comes a responsibility to support the community in meaningful ways, and Woodfibre LNG is committed to going beyond what is expected or required.
“The Community Partnership Program is one way we recognize the people and organizations that make Squamish and the Sea to Sky region stronger every day,” said Luke Schauerte, CEO of Woodfibre LNG. “These groups are often the first to respond, the first to volunteer, and the first to create opportunities for families, youth, seniors, and neighbours across the region. We are proud to support their work and to keep building long-term relationships with the community we call home.”
The Community Partnership Program supports registered charities and non-profit organizations located in the District of Squamish and the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, working in sports and recreation, health and wellness, arts and culture, marine safety, and local search and rescue. Since its launch in 2021, the program has supported more than 200 organizations across the region, and received applications from more than 100 organizations in 2026.
Information on the program is available here.
