The Minister of Environment is reviving a free day-pass program for three popular provincial parks this summer as it tries to manage the growing numbers of park visitors.
Beginning May 6th, a reserved day pass will be needed to visit Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, about 30 kilometres east of Pemberton.
The program expands on June 14th when reserved passes will also be needed for Golden Ears Provincial Park and specific trailhead parking lots in Garibaldi Provincial Park — at Diamond Head, Rubble Creek and Cheakamus.
Passes are available online, starting at 7 a.m., two days before a planned visit — and those without a pass will be turned away by park staff.
