B.C. is investing $5 million for infrastructure projects in 24 provincial parks, including Mount Robson Park, West Lake Park and Swan Lake Park.
At West Lake Provincial Park near Prince George, park buildings in the service compound are being repaired, and in Swan Lake Provincial Park near Dawson Creek, a new boat launch dock will be installed.
Located near Valemount, Mount Robson Provincial Park is the second oldest park in B.C. and its namesake is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies at 3,954 metres.
It is also home to the Berg Lake Trail, which is being upgraded with new bear caches for safe food storage, repairs to footbridges and a new backcountry shelter at the Marmot Campground.
Upgrades are also being made to the ranger station buildings in the service compound.
Other infrastructure projects throughout the province include upgrades to water systems, parking lots, multi-use trails, campground facilities, backcountry facilities and accessibility improvements.
Electric vehicle charging stations will also be added to some day-use areas in northwest B.C.
The projects are scheduled for completion in the spring.
