I have been rock climbing…

I have been rock climbing outdoors for 7 years, and I fully support the proposed change to the Park Management Plan for Devil's Glen which legitimizes and builds better safety for climbers.

Access to outdoor climbing is important to me and climbing in Ontario Parks provides me with valued recreational opportunities in nature. Not just for me, but for my daughter and son who learn and grow so much through their time in Devil's Glen.

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.
