September Long Weekend in Squamish: Travel Safely and Stay Prepared

Admin Team

30 Aug 2025 — 1 min read

The September long weekend is a perfect time to get outside and enjoy the beauty of BC before fall sets in. Many people take this opportunity to head out on one last camping trip, enjoy a hike, or travel to see family and friends. With extra vehicles on the Sea-to-Sky Highway and beyond, long-weekend travel can be busy—so a little preparation goes a long way. Tips for Safer Driving

Whether you’re heading north toward Whistler or south into Vancouver, road conditions can change quickly during peak travel weekends. Here are a few ways to stay safe:

• Plan your departure: Expect heavier traffic on the Sea-to-Sky and other major routes. Leaving early or later in the day can make your trip smoother.

• Stay rested and alert: Long days of activity or long drives can lead to fatigue. Take breaks, switch drivers if possible, and keep distractions to a minimum.

• Do a vehicle check-up: Make sure tires, lights, and brakes are in good condition. For those towing trailers, boats, or campers, double-check connections and load balance before hitting the road.

Review Your Insurance Coverage

Travel safety isn’t just about driving—it’s also about knowing you’re covered if something unexpected happens. Before the weekend begins, confirm that your ICBC Autoplan policy is up to date, and review whether you need optional protection such as rental car coverage or travel insurance. Having the right coverage in place means you can focus on your plans instead of worrying about “what ifs.”

Enjoy the Long Weekend with Confidence

The September long weekend is about making the most of the season—whether that’s an outdoor adventure, a family road trip, or simply enjoying the last of summer’s sunshine. By preparing your vehicle, planning your travels, and checking your insurance, you can relax and enjoy your time knowing you’re protected.
