Parks Day July 17

Canada's Parks Day is on Saturday July 17 this year. Up at the Wilderness Centre at Paradise Meadows, Strathcona Wilderness Institute will celebrate Strathcona Provincial Park. Please join us from 10 am - 2 pm for informal music, film screenings about BC Parks 100th year, and displays & info from community outdoor groups. Special cake-cutting at noon! The Centre itself will be open from 9 am - 4 pm as usual on Saturday & Sunday.

Nature Walk update: For Sunday's Nature Walk on Ethnobotany at 1 pm, guide Gwyn Sproule has requested 'no dogs please'. Your pet is probably not too interested in learning about plants! so as a courtesy to other participants please do not bring them on the nature walk.

BC Parks has a trail report for Strathcona updated on July 12. Snow is reported at elevations over 800 m. in the Buttle Lake area.

Lost & Found: a visitor reported a missing necklace, a metal piece on a black leather cord, probably near the trailhead. Please contact me through the Coordinator link on the Strathcona Wilderness Institute website if you find anything.
