Hornby Island RCMP to Enforce Roadside Camping Restrictions

governance · June 2022 · Hornby Island

The Hornby Island Residents and Ratepayers Association (HIRRA) and RCMP have developed an action plan to address roadside camping, focusing on warnings and selective enforcement based on complaints, with towing as a last resort for repeat offenders.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
