People who live on Vancouver Island and some smaller neighbouring islands have been hotly debating an application made by an American non-profit to use B.C. Crown land for campsites while on kayak trips.
National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), which runs outdoor expeditions around the world, is applying to renew — and expand — a licence the province says it has held since 2006.
The application is to permit NOLS to camp at 77 locations while leading an eight- to 10-person kayak trip from Washington to Alaska next summer. Most of the locations, which range from 0.3-4.6 hectares, are on and around Vancouver Island.
The Elbow People are the Covid Karen Mask People.
