Garibaldi Park 2020 theme song video.
The time has come to stand up for Garibaldi Park and its diverse ecosystems. BC Parks and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations are sacrificing our provincial parks for the sake of commercial interests and actively working to deter backcountry recreationists from accessing forest and park land. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the moral corruption found within these organizations. Garibaldi Park, Stratchcona Park, Cypress and Mount Seymour provincial parks have been exploited. It’s time to bring this issue to the attention of the parks' rightful owners – the citizens of British Columbia. Across the Salish Sea, trail volunteers at Crest Creek Crags in Strathcona Park are subject to harassment and heavy fines by BC Parks enforcement officers. The same BC Parks that for 30 years has been getting a free ride on the efforts of the volunteers and now turns on them with mountains of red tape, lack of consultation and violation tickets. Near Vancouver local ski hills operating in Cypress and Mount Seymour provincial parks are shutting out backcountry recreationists from trails in the parks by implementing ludicrous park access restrictions, towing of recreationist's vehicles and denial of permission to cross the controlled recreation area to access backcountry trails. Garibaldi Park is being dismantled by commercial interests. Heli-skiing is allowed in the Wilderness Conservation Zone but hiking trails are not. Whistler Blackcomb and the provincial government's Mountain Resorts Branch are working in tandem to prevent people from parking at the Singing Pass trailhead, in violation of a legal agreement that goes back to 1982 and assurances made in 1968 by the minister for parks and recreation. Land deletions of 33 square kilometers and heli-skiing tenures of 50 square kilometers benefit a huge international ski corporation and the super rich. But access to the Singing Pass trailhead is gated forcing a 5 kilometer hike on a boring logging road crisscrossed with mountain bikes in a terrain park and motorized ATV vehicles. Meanwhile, BC Parks is in violation of its own 1990 park master plan by approving heli-skiing in wilderness areas and the destruction of mountain goat habitat in the Spearhead Range. BC Parks promotes a distinct double standard. One for commercial enterprise and another for backcountry recreation.
