hear from the park users about how they want to prioritize upgrades. Babine Mountains Provincial Park offers some of the finest hiking opportunities near communities in northwest British Columbia. Trails within the park offer a variety of experiences in all seasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This survey was an opportunity to share your thoughts about Babine Mountains Provincial Park, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How you use the park&nbsp;and trail system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What you value about the current park amenities and trail system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Challenges and issues relating to park and trail use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Key priorities for the future<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your feedback will be used to inform decisions regarding park upgrades in 2022 and 2023, and will also help guide future park planning and improvements. All feedback and upgrade options will be evaluated against conservation objectives and the Park Master Plan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"results\">Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>180 survey completions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 meetings with interested and affected parties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related engagements<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"related-engagements\">\n                                    <div class=\"govtogether-engagement-card\" aria-label=\"Engagement title: Mount Seymour Provincial Park Recreation Facility Plan.
