BC Parks has prepared a draft amendment to the 1990 Garibaldi Park Management Plan, focussed on the Spearhead area of the park.

In early 2012 BC Parks heard from the public, First Nations, and stakeholders on some key management questions related to the Spearhead area. BC Parks has taken all the feedback received into consideration in developing the draft management plan amendment. We are now seeking your input.

The draft plan amendment is available on the BC Parks website:

http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/planning/mgmtplns/garibaldi/garibaldi_mp.html

Please review the plan amendment and submit your comments by filling out the online questionnaire. The deadline for comments is January 10, 2013.

We are also hosting public open houses in Vancouver and Whistler:

Vancouver Open House - November 26, 2012 UBC Robson Square, Room C-150 800 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM
