I have been rock climbing…

I have been rock climbing outdoors for only a three years, and I fully support the proposed change to the Park Management Plan for Devil's Glen which legitimizes climbing.

Access to outdoor spaces and now outdoor climbing is important to me. I have enjoyed hiking and camping in Ontario Parks and climbing adds another wonderful way to enjoy this access to the outdoors.

Rock climbing is a low-impact recreational activity becoming increasingly popular in Ontario and around the world, and climbers are excellent stewards of the environment.

Other jurisdictions, notably in Western Canada, as well as Conservation Halton here in Ontario, productively work together with local climbing communities to facilitate safe access to rock and ice climbing.

I particularly support the proposal in the management plan for a new parking lot at Devil's Glen, which will improve the current temporary parking situation across the road.

Please approve this proposal.

Warm regards,

Brianne
