2020 submits Darling Lake Heritage Trail Proposal to the Honourable Mary Polak

This follows the discussion of Darling Lake Heritage Trail with Mr. George Heyman, NDP MLA in the legislature on April 25th. From the covering letter to the proposal.

We are greatly encouraged that you and your Government is seriously considering righting the wrongs of the past by expanding hiking opportunities in Garibaldi Provincial Park by offering to fully restore the Darling Lake Heritage Trail.

In deference to the overcrowding and overuse of the existing trail network, expansion at this time is highly desirable.  The full restoration of the Darling Lake Heritage Trail by your Government would be a lasting legacy to be proud of; one that would greatly benefit the hiking community for generations to come, and one that would further stimulate the local Squamish economy. 

 

We also appreciate your confirmation in the legislature that the restoration of the Darling Lake Trail does not require an amendment to the Garibaldi Park Master Plan.
