Dear Society Friends and Supporters:
We look forward to seeing you at the park this season and are excited to let you know of our progress. Your generous donations, in partnership with BC Parks, have made it possible to bring much-needed improvements to the park.
In the last few weeks, the Society has replaced the Macdonald Island buoys and dock. Please see the pictures below. The main dock pier at the head of the inlet has been temporarily stabilized and is ready for use this coming season. Further pier and dock work is anticipated soon.
The winter winds, snow and inclement weather take a toll on the park infrastructure, and we are fortunate that help is on the way. Work is scheduled to clear fallen trees, repair washed out trails and to conduct other maintenance items soon so that your visit can be enjoyed.
As reported recently, our long time BC Park Ranger, Ming Neal has elected to retire after a 24-year career. We will miss her. A replacement BC Parks Ranger has been identified and will take up the mantle of protecting the park’s natural and cultural values, providing security and emergency assistance and providing a reassuring presence for visitors.
When visiting the park this season, there is a "QR" code on the dock that you can scan on your smart phone to make a contribution to the Society that allows the Society to continue to provide programs to support the park.
Please join us for a Society sponsored BBQ and celebration event Wednesday August 13 in the late afternoon. Note that Malibu Rapids low slack is at 3:30pm that day. All visitors in the park are welcomed to join in, meet new friends and enjoy the festivities. We look forward to seeing you.
