When open, more than 1,000 day-use passes and 26 campsite reservations are available per day for Joffre Lakes Park.
Park rangers are continuing to turn away people trying to gain access to Joffre Lakes Park following two First Nations 'shutting down' access to the public.
Joffre Lakes Park remains closed on Tuesday and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy is working to find a solution. The ministry says it is actively working with the Lil’wat and N’quatqua First Nations to find a solution to their concerns around space and privacy for cultural activities while ensuring public access to the park in a responsible and sustainable manner.
In an interview between CHEK News reporter Rob Shaw and Minister George Heyman, it was revealed that the minister has asked the leaders of both First Nations to sit down with provincial officers and himself if requested, to negotiate a solution that would reopen the park but also give Indigenous residents the land access they require.
BC Parks says with the system in place, the park currently accommodates approximately 200,000 visitors per year.
