New Sea to Sky campaign raises awareness about litter, wildlife conflict, illegal land use
An exponential increase in litter, wildlife conflicts environmental degradation caused by poor human behaviour, and illegal land use in the Sea to Sky region has prompted a campaign urging people to tread lightly and minimize impact.
The campaign is an initiative of the Sea-to-Sky Destination Management Council, which was created in early 2020 to implement the Sea-to-Sky Destination Development Strategy. The Council is comprised of community representatives from the Sea-to-Sky planning area, as well as Indigenous Tourism Association of British Columbia, B.C. Parks, the Ministry of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation, and the Ministry of Forests.
Starting this month, visitors travelling the Sea-to-Sky Corridor, which spans from North Vancouver and Bowen Island north through Lillooet, will see signage encouraging locals and visitors to behave more responsibly when enjoying the outdoors and the communities.
Signage will be placed in visitor centres...
