I am writing in support of the proposed amendments to Devil’s Glen Provincial park that would allow for rock climbing, increase the park’s boundaries through adjacent land acquisition, and expand parking facilities, all while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental and ecological protection.

These changes represent a thoughtful and balanced approach to recreation and conservation. Rock climbing, when managed properly with clear guidelines, is a low-impact activity that fosters appreciation for natural landscapes and encourages stewardship among its participants.

Expanding the park’s boundaries and parking capacity will help distribute visitor impact more evenly, reduce strain on sensitive areas, and improve accessibility for all users. This is particularly important as outdoor recreation continues to grow in popularity and demand.

Most importantly, I appreciate the emphasis on safeguarding the environment and local ecosystems throughout this process. Protecting biodiversity and natural habitats must remain a priority, and I’m encouraged that this plan reflects that.

I commend Provincial Parks for taking a proactive and inclusive approach to land use planning and recreation access. I strongly support the proposed amendments and encourage their adoption.
