All day passes and backcountry camping reservations are cancelled.
All backcountry camping reservations and day passes to Joffre Lakes Park are being cancelled and fully refunded after two First Nations said they are ‘shutting down’ access to the popular location.
The Líl̓wat Nation translates Nt’akmen as "our way," encompassing both culture and traditions, according to a community document describing the nation's inherent rights. "We recognize the impact that this has on people's plans on short notice. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate people's understanding,” says Heyman.
People who have already purchased day passes will not be able to access the Park on Aug. 25 and Aug. 26. BC Parks staff are currently in the process of contacting everyone who had camping reservations on those dates.
