Updates to the Tribune Bay Park Recreation Enhancements Project

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Updates to the Tribune Bay Park Recreation Enhancements Project

Timeline, phasing, and partnership opportunities are under consideration.

HORNBY ISLAND, BC (January 23, 2025) – BC Parks is undertaking infrastructure updates and future planning for Tribune Bay Park on Hornby Island. Enhancements will be taking place this winter.

This winter, BC Parks is replacing the septic system in the existing Tribune Bay Park campground to ensure it is ready for the spring 2025 season. This work requires the removal of a small number of trees. Ongoing invasive plant management will continue, as well as assessments of the Day Use shelter for potential repairs, replacements, and accessibility improvements.

Following October’s announcement from School Districts 69 and 71 to withdraw from the operations of the Tribune Bay Outdoor Education Centre, BC Parks is exploring options for the future of this site. Condition assessments of the existing facilities, and archaeological and ecological assessments are currently underway. These assessments are expected to be completed this Spring and will inform future planning for the site, including options to continue outdoor education opportunities and the possibility of this section of the park as a location for the proposed walk-in campsites.
