The proposed camping bylaw for the camping within district boundaries is back on the books for the council meeting that will take place this Tuesday, July 16th 6pm. Over the past four week, the district has been in contact with a number of players, including the Vehicle Residents of Squamish group that has been advocating on behalf of those individuals living in their vans.
The efforts of this group have reduced the size of the ‘prohibited area’ that includes crown land near the Stawamus Chief. They have also worked with district staff to implement a seasonal closure rather than a year long closure that has not been included in the bylaw and our in conversations with the district regarding the idea of using a district parking lot as a pilot project for permitting overnight parking.
