The popular Keyhole Hot Springs was recently shut down after visitors left unwanted food and trash in the area, causing it to be a common spot for bears to frequent. It became so unsafe, both the hot springs and park have been closed to all visitors until further notice.
Another recent post shared on social media showed an excessive amount of trash left on a dock in Cultus Lake after the May-long weekend.
With such an abundance of beauty in our province, it’s important we do our part and clean up after ourselves (or others if need be) to make sure natural areas stay that way.
