The Board has officially voted to reject the current development plan and preserve our parkland. This outcome reflects the commitment of 694 people who insisted on protecting the integrity of our home. We have proven that the community can influence policy when we remain informed and firm in our convictions.

We’re a group of concerned Lakers who know that residents have been misled in why — or if — development is “needed” at the lake. Here’s what you need to know:
- DID YOU KNOW THAT CULTUS LAKE PARK DOES NOT NEED TO UPGRADE ITS EXISTING SEWER FACILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THE HOMES/BUSINESSES IT CURRENTLY SERVES?
- DID YOU KNOW THAT 79% OF VOTERS OPTED FOR ‘STATUS QUO’ — OR ‘NO’ — TO THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PLAN, SO WHY DOESN’T THE DRAFT PLAN RESPECT OR REFLECT THAT?
- DID YOU KNOW LAKERS WERE VOTING ON THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT PLAN WITHOUT ALL THE FACTS?
- DID YOU KNOW A ‘GARRISON’ STYLE DEVELOPMENT WOULD NEVER WORK HERE?
- DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE MORE OBVIOUS WAYS TO BRING REVENUE TO THE LAKE?
- DID YOU KNOW THAT ONCE THE PARKLAND IS GONE, IT’S GONE?
Reject the misinformation and fear tactics. Say ‘no’ to the current Official Community Plan. Tell the Board to stop destroying park land by signing this petition.

No more development in cultus lake park. More development means more money needed,then more money to maintain development, Where's all this money coming from? Surely not from the residents who don't want this,
I have been camping here forever since I was 2 and now reside here to destroy any more park would take away what most of us moved here for. Something else I did hear was that this development is from off shore money does anyone know the truth. Would be nice to know.
My paternal grandparents and their infant son, my father, came to Cultus Lake from England in 1946. Both of my parents grew up at this lake, my cousins and my siblings grew up at this lake. Stop industrializing it! It's a peaceful sanctuary to many. Please don't ruin that.
The lake should be for everyone, not just rich condo owners. It's already over crowded with boats. The traffic is a nightmare in the summer and lastly but most importantly, have you not read any of the environmental impact reports? Seriously, this shouldn't even be an issue.
I support giving opportunities to the community and businesses for sustained growth. I am opposed to destruction of the "outdoor camping and recreational feel"of the area by removing large sections of the forest etc.. for a hotel and condos.
Obviously the development will end up being sold to corrupt money launders from Asia so NO NO NO. Smarten up BC and stop destroying the environment and the province.
No to the developers. The Natural park must be maintained for the future public to enjoy. If we pave it all over it is lost forever. Maybe the trees, birds and squirrels need a vote on this issue as well.

This land was given by our indigenous neighbours the Sto Lo Nation for the people of Chilliwack to enjoy for all times. So if it's developed we have destroyed the spirit of that gift as we will limit access to the lake and the beach forever.
