Heavy wave action Thursday damaged the dock, increasing the safety concerns.
“The District of Coldstream and the RDNO are installing additional barricades to entry and will have a security presence to deter unlawful use in contravention of the posted closure,” states a district news release.
Violators could be fined.
On Tuesday evening, a young man was beaten by several assailants in an incident on the dock.
