BC Parks and COVID-19 in the Vernon area:

BC Parks and Covid-19 in the Vernon area.

BC Parks has taken steps provincially to reduce the spread of Covid-19. Facilities such as campgrounds, buildings and parking lots have been closed in an attempt to encourage social distancing and reduce the risk of Covid-19 transmission.

Please follow this link for further information. http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/covid-19/

Locally in the Vernon area there are many popular Provincial Parks, specifically Kalamalka Lake PP, Kekuli Bay PP and Ellison PP. The parking lots at these parks have been closed so access is very limited. In order to prevent our bordering neighbourhoods and residential streets from being impacted by visitors still trying to access the Park,  BC Parks is asking that the public stay local and within their own neighbourhoods so they can walk or ride to Parks within their immediate area. Driving to these Parks is currently not an option.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during these challenging times.

BC Parks.
