Fire officials say it’s a reminder for everyone to stay away from dangerous areas of the park.
“There are many risks here, and we encourage people to keep their families and themselves away from cliff edges,” said West Vancouver Fire Rescue Assistant Chief Martin Leduc.
“We attend many rescue calls here throughout the summer. It draws lots of tourists and lots of people, but there are many hazards here.”
