Island 22 Closing
« on: May 02, 2007, 06:59:41 PM »
Just recieved notice Island 22 in Chilliwack will be closing next week for dyke upgrades.

This most likely will effect the boat launch as well. If you plan on going to launch there it would be wise to call the Fraser Valley Regional District before you plan a trip.
I have sent a note to the City of Chilliwack to have the Old Orchard Road launch opened as soon as possible.

So, if I paid my $50 for a season pass to launch the Foggy Ducker, I could be screwed for a couple of months?   Glad I kept the money in my pocket.

Re: Yearly pass. I'll post more info from FVRD when available.

We are in the process of evacuating all of our facilities within Island 22 Park. We were informed today that starting next week the City will commence raising the wing dike from Young Road through Island 22 Regional Park. We will be keeping the boat launch open until Monday for sure and beyond that I can not guarantee that it will be available for launching.

Everyone’s obvious concern is for how long will the park be closed and what about those that purchased a yearly pass? At this time, boat launch passes will be honoured when the park reopens. If there is considerable damage and the park is closed for a considerable length of time, then we will review the issue of refunds. Please be ensured that we will make certain seasonal pass holders are dealt with fairly.

Just checked and the City of Chilliwack has opened the access to the launch to the Fraser at Old Orchard. While I was there saw a boat fishing sturgeon and saw a angler go for his rod. River is very muddy needless to say, here comes the flood. :( ::)
