Pipeline protest keeps popular Clearwater-area provincial park closed
CLEARWATER — If you were thinking of heading out to North Thompson River Provincial Park just outside of Clearwater this week for some camping, think again.
The Ministry of Environment says the park is closed due to a protest against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.
An Indigenous cultural event first closed the park to the public from July 6 to July 9 but the Ministry of Environment says “some event participants remain on site” to protest the pipeline.
The ministry says BC Parks is maintaining the closure while “efforts are made to respectfully resolve the situation.”
