Kal Park Closure Requests

The company in charge of operating Kal Lake Provincial Park, says it’s had several requests to close the park due to the fire danger.

Warren Eurchuk — area supervisor for Kaloya Contracting — says the requests from park users and concerned residents have been forwarded to BC Parks.

“We`ve been advised that people want it, have requested it`being closed. We`ve advised the government of the requests and they are in contract with other government agencies to make that final decision.”

Eurchuk says it’s up to the BC Wildfire Service to decide if provincial parks are shut down.
