Signs have been posted on all entrances of the park noting a ‘Deer Alert’ along with information about what to do if you encounter a deer.
This is the season in B.C. where does are fawning, and many are having babies in urban areas. Conservation officers are reminding people to keep their dogs on leashes and to leave fawns alone.
