BC Parks

Video about the state of BC Parks.

There are two park systems in British Columbia -- shiny new parks are the order of the day in favoured areas like the Olympic corridor to Whistler and some high tourist areas. In rural communities, where local economies rely on tourism to survive, it's a different story. BC parks are hurting from a decade of neglect. Decaying infrastructure, lack of maintenance and a shortage of basic supplies like toilet paper are the norm in many communities.

The BCGEU visited over 35 BC parks, campsites and day use areas this past summer, on Vancouver Island and mainland BC. This video shows the results of our tour. Watch the video and visit our web site, www.savebcparks.ca to download campaign material and e-mail the Premier and Environment Minister to tell them to restore funding to BC Parks.
