Fyi, that is the town of Squamish, half way between Vancouver and Whistler. It is a legendary area for flying and probably the most popular rock climbing area in canada. But to call its airport small means this guy doesnt do much general aviation flying. It is at least paved. There are dozens of smaller strips dotted around BC.

A funny thing about Squamish: even though it is right between Vancouver and Whistler, basically a highway town, if you draw a strait line between it and Alaska you will only cross two roads. Canada is vast. In BC that vastness starts the moment you step out of Vancouver.
- walrus01 5y agoBut by airplane traffic Squamish is pretty small, any of the general aviation fields in the Vancouver area see a lot more traffic (boundary bay, Langley, Abbotsford, etc). I personally don't know of anyone that flies fixed wing there, only helicopter operations in the whistler Squamish area.
