A popular park in British ColumbiaB次元官网网址檚 Lower Mainland remains closed due to damage from an atmospheric river weather system that drenched the provinceB次元官网网址檚 south coast, triggering a mudslide and local flooding that killed three people.

The Environment Ministry says the storm that rolled over the region for three days starting on Oct. 18 left a trail of damage at Golden Ears Provincial Park, north of Maple Ridge.

A statement from the ministry says the province hopes to be able to reopen a portion of the park this fall, but the exact timeline is not yet clear.

It says park staff are working with engineers to assess the damage with an immediate focus on clearing plugged culverts and repairing roadways.

Nearby Coquitlam was among the hardest-hit areas as the atmospheric river dumped more than 250 millimetres of rain on the community that weekend.
