Re: Community Legacy Program
This looks like a great opportunity to make some concrete improvements to trails and facilities at Stawamus Chief park or Murrin.
Folks should know the deadline for applications is June 16th so get your ideas in to CASBC soon, they need to time to write up the application. Here is the link to the Community Legacy Program.
I'll throw a couple of ideas out there:
At Murrin:
- How about trail improvements to the climbs at Up Among the Firs ?
For the Chief campground:
- What about adding more tent pads at the Chief Campground?
- Cook shelter near the parking lot?
- showers even?
Anybody have thoughts on these ideas or some of their own?
