Thank you,
Peter.

Hi! As an avid outdoor user of Ontario’s public lands, I’m excited about this proposal. I hike, camp, paddle, rock climb and cycle, and Ontario’s public land is very important to me.

I am pleased that Devil's Glen Provincial Park is considering an amendment to the management plan to formally recognize rock climbing as a permitted activity. Devil's Glen is home to over 160 classic rock climbing routes, with a history of climbing dating back at least since 1983.

This is very exciting news for climbing and other recreational activities in Ontario! I've hiked and climbed at Devil's Glen numerous times, but my partner and I stopped going after being followed and having notes left on our vehicle.
