Parker Lake Work Bee - Community Day

We are thrilled to announce that we are partnering with Rec Sites & Trails BC and the Fort Nelson community to make this day a success! This is exactly the kind of collaboration we've been working toward — and Parker Lake is the perfect place to kick it all off. 
 

Parker Lake is one of Fort Nelson's most treasured spots, and after the fires, it's time to show it some love. Come spend the day with us — a little work, a lot of fun, and one of the best views around. 
 

FREE kayak, paddle board & canoe rentals — generously donated by Aimee Badine! Bring the whole family, lend a hand, and then get out on the water. All we're asking for is your helping hands and a great day together for everyone to enjoy.
 

On the to-do list:
- Clean out the fire pit
- Pick up garbage (not much — already a win!)
- Repair & repaint the outhouse and picnic table
- Cut firewood donated by Harrison Dickie for future visitors
- Shovel, rake & spruce up the whole site

 Put our community's stamp on this special place - We want to hear from you!

But it's bigger than a cleanup. The Town is in talks with Council about ownership of this rec site — and we want YOUR voice in that conversation. Come out, put your imaginative hat on, and tell us: what would you love to see happen with our little piece of paradise? What do YOU want to see on the trails in Northeast BC? This is your community — come out and have your say. We want to hear your ideas, your wishes, and your vision for the trails and wild spaces that make this region so special.

Learn about the Parker Lake Ecological Reserve! Parker Lake sits within a designated ecological reserve — one of BC's most important tools for protecting rare and sensitive ecosystems. Come out and learn about the incredible wildlife that has been documented right here in our backyard, what makes this area ecologically significant, and why protecting it matters now more than ever. This is your chance to connect with the nature that surrounds our community every single day.
 

This is just the beginning.
 

Tag someone who needs a day at the lake! - A fire will be going throughout the day, bring the marshmallows, hot dogs, and we will see you there. Not into the work bee? No worries! Bring your own paddle or grab a free rental and just enjoy a day out on the water. All are welcome!
