The goals of the park partners
• To assist in implementating the park management plan
• To protect and enhance the natural and cultural features of the park
• To encourage responsible public recreation
• To promote public education and a park-use code of ethics
• To raise revenue for special local park projects
Why have a partnership?
• Protecting our natural environment and meeting the demands for recreation becomes more important as the population grows in the GVRD. A balance must be struck.
• The partnership provides a valuable forum for expressing community ideas and concerns about the park. It also provides a practical framework for working with the GVRD. Input and discussion can be given on issues relating to the maintenance and use of Campbell Valley Regional Park, its features, facilities and heritage sites.
Working together, we can make a difference.
