It's now possible to buy an overnight parking pass from
Central Saanich municipal hall for $10. This parking option will be convenient for kayakers planning to camp on nearby islands in the
Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, such as
Isle de Lis Marine Park,
Portland Island, and
D'Arcy Island where the ruins of
the old leper colony can still be seen in
photos that Bernie took when he camped there. Check out the
Times-Colonist newspaper's article on this overnight parking news!
Getting a parking pass is also a good idea for kayakers who intend to do only a long day's trip but are prepared in case they might have to stay out overnight. And, of course, many park rangers recommend that people leaving their vehicles at a trailhead or boat launch should also leave a note on the dashboard explaining their planned route and estimated time of return.
