What started as a simple trip to visit his brother’s newborn 
in Jasper, morphed into Squamish local, Cameron Dare, 
planning his first bikepacking trip, where he’ll travel over 
800 km, completely unassisted, to raise money for the 
Sea to Sky Hospice Society.
“Originally, I was just going to have a fairly chill bike ride 
back. I was going to do it in like six or seven days,” he 
said. Then he read an article about Meaghan Hackinen 
setting the women’s record time on the Tour de Divide, the 
roughly 4,400 kilometre bikepacking race from Banff to 
New Mexico. “That inspired me because I read her article. 
And she talked about how she got into bikepacking, that 
sparked a bit of interest for me.”

Squamish councillor Chris 
Pettingill is seeking a third 
term on District of Squamish 
council in the October 17 
municipal election, 
continuing his campaign 
without accepting donations.
