North Shore Rescue says it’s concerned about a “hike rave” event happening on Mount Seymour Friday night.
A group called “Party4Health” is inviting people to dance up the mountain and party while overlooking the city.
On Facebook, the group said the event will be a “naturally euphoric social experience.”
“Our concern is wildfire as well, there’s talk of fireworks being involved as well and that just can’t happen,” said Danks.
A Metro Vancouver spokesperson said North Vancouver RCMP would be monitoring the event.
Danks said Metro Vancouver – who maintains the trail – along with RCMP, are trying to stop the event by blocking the roadway to the mountain.
“This is an unsanctioned event, there is no emergency plan in place.”
A Facebook post says 60 people showed up to the event, but the road is closed.
It goes on to say would-be partiers will be hiking up another trail, but doesn’t publicly say where.
The event is said to start at 7:30 p.m. and go on until midnight.
