Master plan for provincial park made available

A MASTER plan _ for ‘MacMillan Provincial Park, ' internationally for giant trees up to 80 metres in height, aims to ‘improve access for visitors, Parks Minister John Cashore and Alberni MLA Gerard Janssen announced

recently.

- Last year, more than 300,000 people visited the park, which straddles Highway 4, near Port Alberni.

“Efficient site access is impor- .tant not only to the public’s en- joyment of the park, but also to park management and en- vironmenial protection,’’ Cashore said.

The 1!36-hectare park, created in 1947 on tand donated by H.R. MacMillan, protects Douglas fir up to 700 years old. It is one of the few easily accessible areas of old-growth Douglas fir on Van- couver Island.

The master pian also calls for a tesearch program to monitor damage caused by visitors walking in the ancient forest, and improv- ed information and sanitary facili- ties. An education and informa- tion program for visitors to the park and the surrounding arez is also recommended.

‘We want to replace the ex- isting parking area along Highway 4,’’ said Janssen. ‘‘A new parking fot would provide better access to the park, and also improve safety. Some visitors now have to cross the highway to get from the park- ing area to MacMilian Park.”

People may request a copy of the master plan by calling 248- 3931, or writing to Strathcona Parks District, Rathtrevor Beach Park, Parksville, B.C. VOR 280.

‘Although the number of women competing in these sports at the elite level continues to grow — 35% of the field at the 1991 World Championships were fe- male — the aim of the workshops is to encourage ‘women of all ages and levels of ability to enjoy the many benefits of a_ healthy lifestyle,” said Morrison.

A recent workshop held by Morrison in Vancouver attracted 30 women.
