I noticed this article on News 1130 (which includes our old Garibaldi Park 2020 website photo) where the VOC discusses the current parking problems at Rubble Creek.
The article correctly points out that funding for BC Parks in the 2020 Provincial Budget (from what I have heard and read) actually includes budget reductions over the next few years.
As much as I have been critical about some of BC Parks's policy and decision making, I have sympathy here as they seem to have limited financial maneuvering room to address issues such as this.
Certainly major access, management and funding issues are not a very good way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Garibaldi Provincial Park in 2020.
