The 2026 ḵ’iyí7ch (Elk) Draw was conducted at the Rights and Title Department Office on Eslha7an at 1 pm on June 18, 2026, by Natural Resources staff.
93 Squamish People entered, with each person vying for four locations of their choosing: McNab Creek, Rainy River, Sunshine Coast, and Squamish Valley.
The 24 Elk Draw Winners will receive an information package from the Rights and Title Land Guardians, Eric Baker and/or Jeremiah Groves. All winners must report any successful harvest to Eric_Baker@squamish.net and Jeremiah_Groves@squamish.net, and must respond to a mandatory short questionnaire at the end of the hunting season, regardless of their success. Failure to do so may result in ineligibility for future draws.
Elk tags are non-transferable and must be harvested with a valid Personal Acquisition License (PAL). Visit bit.ly/hunting-zone-boundaries to find maps of the Elk Hunting Zone boundaries. If you have any questions about elk hunting, PAL, hunting licensing and regulations, or access to territory areas, please email Eric_Baker@squamish.net or call 604-346-8098.
