Lets come together to protect winter access to the garibaldi trail
head!

Recently, BC highways has installed some new No Parking signs on
the plowed section of the road leading to the Rubble Creek Trailhead,
and BC Parks cannot afford to plow the road any higher to create
more parking. This means that there is currently no legal parking at
that trailhead, and essentially elimintates winter access to Burton Hut
and all of the other areas accessed via Rubble Creek.

The VOC, ACC, and FMCBC have been working together to come to a
solution. We’ve considered a variety of options, such as fundraising
for BC parks, and paying expensive plows. We’ve come to decision to
solve this issue in true VOC style: by shoveling out parking spots on
the road ourselves.

We are hoping that a large turn out of community members shoveling
the road on March 7th will show the importance of winter access to
our community. We are hoping to get some media attention as well.
Hopefully, if there is a large enough turn out, it will help secure the
funding to plow the road in future years.

Please consider making this a part of your weekend plans- it’s time to
come together as a community and show the importance of winter
access to the places we love to ski.
