Skaha Bluffs Park Watch Society

[rolfr]

As most of you know, we had a rash of break-ins at the parking lot in Skaha last season. A group of local climbers formed the Skaha Bluffs Park Watch Society and met with all levels of local and provincial authorities.

I am extremely happy to announce the City of Penticton has approved a grant of $15,456.00 for the Skaha Bluffs Parkwatch Society. Thank you to the mayor and all the council members for the grant and recognizing how important the climbing community is to Penticton.

We will have a patrol person on site at the parking lot next season. Thank you to all the climbers who donated their time and money to make this happen, we will still need your support. The organizational work will start early spring, details will be announced on this site.

Our Patrol person will be accepting donations to help fund this as an ongoing program, please throw a loonie or toonie in the jar at the parking lot to help fund this program and keep our climbing area crime free.

I will post periodic updates, hopefully some locals in Squamish will consider a similar program for high break-in areas.
