With CanadaBԪַs Parks Day just passed, and many British Columbians gearing up for camping as the summer weather improves, encourages everyone to follow the CamperBԪַs Code.
Developed collaboratively by a dozen B.C.-based organizations, the CamperBԪַs Code provides nine rules to help create a safe and enjoyable camping trip.
The code includes pledges to plan ahead, control pets, respect other campers by keeping noise levels down, and keep a clean campsite to avoid attracting wildlife.
BԪַThe goal of the CamperBԪַs Code is to build more awareness about desired campersBԪַ behaviours, educate new campers on acceptable behaviours and promote the sustainability of British Columbia as a destination for future generations to enjoy,BԪַ Jaime Cox, president of BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association, said in a statement.
