All Parks Canada fees went up on Jan. 1, 2022 by about 4.2 per cent to account for inflation. An annual family park entry pass is now $104.50 and a site at Green Point is now $34.50/night. The revenue increases flow directly back into projects within the PRNPR, like: revitalizing the boardwalk on the Nuu-chah-nulth trail, repairing cable cars on the West Coast Trail and purchasing new picnic tables for Green Point, enhancing cleaning protocols, and the shorebird monitoring program.
Tovell went on to note that the PRNPRB次元官网网址檚 25-km paved multi-use trail will also be fully open this summer with some sections being open in the spring.
Reservations can be made at or through the call centre 1-877-737-3783.
