[email protected] SUBJECT: Self-propelled vs. motorized use of the trails on Mount Gardner, Bowen Island DATE: 2020 May 11 On April 27th last I was among the Bowen Islanders attending the Zoom meeting of our municipal Council for your presentation and discussion about the trails on Mount Gardner. I would like to address the main issue of the meeting: self-propelled vs. motorized use of those trails. My interest in the trails arises from my hiking all of those trails frequently since 1990, and then personally spending weeks creating the detailed and accurate map of over 20 kilometers of the good hiking trails that was instrumental in developing the concept of designating the polygon on Mount Gardner — now expressed in the current Partnership Agreement. This survey of the trails was done as part of my work for the Rotary Club of Bowen Island.
