Effective Date: August 1st – September 8th, 2020 (during weekends when required).

Where: Barrier Dam Day Use, Grassi Lakes Day Use, Grotto Mountain Day Use and Yamnuska Day Use.

Why:

Our most popular parks and sites are experiencing high visitor volumes, resulting in crowding of facilities, full parking lots, and an increase in safety issues.



It’s critical that emergency vehicles like fire response, medical aid and search and rescue have access to these areas – so don’t block the road with your vehicle.



Under the Traffic Safety Act, depending on the infraction, tickets will be issued; Enforcement is trying to ensure the safety of the public and staff, which can be jeopardized by illegal parking.

Parking lots at Barrier Dam and Grassi Lakes Day Use will be managed by traffic control staff to ensure emergency vehicles have access. Please do not park on the highway or roadway shoulders when parking lots become full. If the designated parking lots are full, plan to visit another area.

Grotto Mountain Day Use Area and Yamnuska Day Use Area will be controlled to ensure emergency vehicles have access. Please do not park outside of designated parking lots in these areas or on the highway or roadway shoulders; this creates a dangerous situation and impedes access by emergency vehicles.
