You’re Invited to a Party!!
Come to Kokanee Glacier Park on August 13 to help celebrate 100 years of BC Parks. Since 1911, with the creation of Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island, the world has been coming to British Columbia to savour the “Parks experience”. Join the Friends of West Kootenay Parks Society, BC Parks and our partners High Terrain Helicopters and the Alpine Club of Canada for a day of fun in the mountains.
