Update on Garibaldi Squamish Resort
It appears that Rod Macleod retired and has been replaced with Sabina FooFat as Project Director.
They desire to apply to extend their EA (environmental assessment certificate) in the Spring to 2026. The proposed resort would occupy 2,760 hectares and is to be completed by 2040 (phase IV). They apparently have decided to abandon the idea of building two accompanying luxury golf courses and to move the "village" up the mountain to 1,100 meters.
From the Backcountry BC perspective, should this resort and proposal prevail, we wish to ensure the integrity of the Garibaldi Park Boundary (no more boundary adjustments/deletions for commercial developers and operators please and thank you!), continued and unencumbered free non-motorized backcountry public access to the park, protection and respect for the large and critical mountain goat ungulate winter ranges on Brohm Ridge, and protection for both old growth forest and water.
Given the proximity of the park boundary and the proposed resort as seen in the map, it certainly would be tempting for the current or any future owners to want to creep their way into that fine park alpine so close by.
T-bars crawling up BC's new "Warren Glacier Provincial Park" in 2050? Not so far fetched given the existence of Blackcomb Glacier Provincial Park. Perhaps I shouldn't give anyone some bad ideas...
