WORCA Youth Members Presented with Civilian Citations

At the October 6th Council Meeting, Fire Chief Rob Whitton awarded WORCA youth members Lauren Doak, Zachary Davis, and Oliver Spratt with a Civilian Citation from the fire service for their efforts in stopping a forest fire on the Big Kahuna Trail last summer. The three kids noticed the fire along with their running coach Munro Duncan and used the water in their camel backs to calm the fire until the fire department arrived on scene.

Great work guys!

Tunnel Vision Trail Closures: late October/Early November

As part of efforts to reduce the risk of wildfires in Whistler, the RMOW will be thinning forests in the Kadenwood area. Thinning will start after Thanksgiving and end when snow precludes further activity.

The portion of Tunnel Vision closest to Kadenwood will be closed for short periods to allow thinning. A detour via Millar’s Pond will remain open. The upper portion of the trail between the Khyber/Babylon By Bike area and Alpha Creek uphill of Millar’s Pond will not be affected.

For further information or current conditions, please contact Bob Brett (bob@snowlineresearch.ca; 604-905-9457).
