Council voted unanimously in favour of considering all legal options, including expropriation, to secure public access to the land
Langford staff will be exploring options to restore public access to a trail at Bear Mountain Resort that connects to Mount Finlayson after a unanimous council vote.
Yacucha said he has also heard from many residents at Bear Mountain who are upset that the move makes them appear elitist. “I’m hoping we don’t have to go down extreme routes, but from what we’ve heard from residents of Langford is they’re expecting access to the outdoors at their doorstep, and we’re looking to make that happen,” said Yacucha.
Yacucha said bringing the motion forward was about ensuring equitable access to the provincial park and removing financial barriers to access the outdoors.
