SummerB次元官网网址檚 sun is slowly making its way out to the West Coast, bringing travellers excited to explore serene landscapes along with it.

Those who fail to book authorized accommodations before they arrive and are expecting to illegally nestle into the backroad wilderness however, will find their peace disturbed by increased enforcement patrols.

B次元官网网址淚 am proud that the West Coast communities have come together as a unified group to stop unauthorized and destructive backcountry behaviour,B次元官网网址� said Tofino mayor Dan Law. B次元官网网址淥ur regionB次元官网网址檚 natural amenities are a precious shared resourceB次元官网网址攎isuse will no longer be tolerated.B次元官网网址�

In a joint statement released last week, representatives from local First Nations as well as Tofino, Ucluelet, the Alberni Clayoquot Regional district and Parks Canada made whatB次元官网网址檚 become an annual plea to visitors not to illegally camp in the region.

B次元官网网址淭he environmentally friendly and responsible way to camp in the region is to make a reservation at one of the many authorized campgrounds in the areaB次元官网网址� said Daniel Sailland of the Alberni Clayoquot Regional District. B次元官网网址淭here are no serviced camping sites on backroads along Kennedy Lake or highway pullouts and there is zero tolerance for unauthorized camping and unauthorized overnight parking within all communities.B次元官网网址�

Illegal camping has been especially prevalent over the past two seasons, drawing frustration from residents which boiled over to the point .

The statement suggests enforcement patrols will be targeting unauthorized camping within the areas of Clayoquot Arm, along the Kennedy Lake Watershed as well as parking lots and roadways.

B次元官网网址淚 am privileged to live here, and I hope those visiting show respect to the region in all their actions. We are expecting you to,B次元官网网址� said Ucluelet mayor Mayco Noel. Visitors are reminded that the Coast is an immensely popular tourist destination and accommodations, including campsites, fill up quickly, so reservations must be sorted out prior to arrival.
