I'm a homeowner on property adjacent to the park. I would simply like to express my strong and clear support for the amendment, especially with respect to rock climbing. Again: I am very strongly and clearly in favour of rock climbing in the park.

The recreational activities should include rock climbing, and plans should be created to work with the climbing community to identify and maintain climbing routes. Rock climbers are some of the biggest believers and practicers of “leave no trace”. Read more

Yes!! Allow climbing at Devils Glen and other Provincial parks. Access means promoting a sense of community, prioritizing safety, and protection of nature where we can. Climbers are generally kind, caring people who just want to enjoy nature!

Climbing is a deeply human form of recreation that can be practiced in a way that’s respectful and supportive of the environment and community. Devil’s Glen is a beautiful place and already feels like home for so many of us. We’d love to keep building its legacy.
