Gill Bar contains important fish habitat — including all five Pacific salmon species — and holds cultural significance for local First Nations, according to a statement from the DFO.
 

DFO fishery officer Mike Fraser said the impact of vehicles on the fish habitat has been a concern for many years, particularly following an increase in use during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Fish habitat is not the place to be operating off-road vehicles," he said.


Concerned citizens and environmental groups have expressed concern about the impact of motor vehicles on Gill Bar during the past few years, said Fraser.
