BC Parks intends to temporarily close Joffre Lakes Park to the public on two occasions this summer, providing local First Nations with the chance to reconnect with the land. Shutterstock
BC Parks plans to close Joffre Lakes Park to the public for a week this summer and for 23 days this fall to allow local First Nations the opportunity to “connect with the land.”
Similar closures have been carried out over the past few years, cutting off public access to the hiking trails and lake areas at the southwestern B.C. park 35 kilometres east of Pemberton.
