Following another deadly summer in the North Vancouver park, the district has installed new multilingual warning signs
A week after a 17-year-old fell to his death in Lynn Canyon, the District of North Vancouver is installing new multilingual signs that warn of the dangers of adventuring in the unforgiving area.
Black and red graphics feature clear images of the prohibited activities of climbing fences into restricted areas, swimming and cliff diving. A large skull and crossbones sits next to a warning of “extreme danger.” Warriner said the district has been providing information and signage warning of the perils of the park since the early 1990s, but over time the messaging has evolved and the signs have been relocated to ensure that “the message stays fresh,” is easily understood and is in the most visible of locations.
In previous decades dozens have succumbed to the dangers of the park, with last month’s 17-year-old boy, a student from Ontario set to start at UBC in the fall, marking the second death this summer alone. In July, a swimmer died after going over the canyon’s Twin Falls.
