Keep BC Parks Open Longer

Whereas Provincial Parks serve a vital recreational, cultural, social and economic role in the lives of many British Columbians; And whereas the Province of BC closes many of its parks to campers in September each year, limiting the ability of British Columbians access to those parks at a time of year when they continue to be functionally usable: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the Province of BC to keep our Provincial parks, including campgrounds, open until the end of October to enable the access to parks for all visitors to enjoy these recreational benefits for a longer period and to encourage healthy and active lifestyles.
