Victoria park users face fare hikes in new fee plan
Environment Minister Joyce Murray unveiled a user pay model moving park costs from tax revenues to visitors. By May 1 most fees rise, with campground weekly rates up to 144 dollars, fishing licences to 36, hunting licences to 32, and day parking at 3 to 5 dollars in 28 Lower Mainland parks and one southern Vancouver Island park. The plan funds parks and wildlife amid a 40 million dollar maintenance gap, aiming to boost resources over time while offsetting new revenue with existing funding cuts.
