Garbage, toilet paper, feces, graffiti: This is the detritus Squamish RCMP found strewn at recreation sites in Squamish.
Squamish RCMP tweeted a collage of the toll this long weekend took on local recreation sites and the back country.
The police is advising outdoor recreationists to ‘pack out what you pack in” while enjoying the Sea to Sky country.
“Some of the things we saw during our August Long Weekend Patrols in our rec sites and backcountry: garbage, graffiti, toilet paper/feces. Please if you come to the Sea to Sky “pack out what you pack in”.
Squamish RCMP were out all weekend in the area, responding to complaints about noise and alcohol consumption at local lakes and beaches.
Squamish RCMP also tweeted a picture of a crowded Cat Lake, where police spent time ‘pouring out liquor on the beach and docks.’
Meanwhile, a cyclist is recovering at the hospital after being struck by a vehicle on the Highway 99.
The accident happened yesterday near Furry Creek around 1 pm, injuring a man who is now recovering at the Lions Gate Hospital.
“I’m in Lions Gate. Broken clavicle, scapula, and eight ribs, punctured lung, but happy to be alive,” the cyclist said in a Twitter update.

Everything recorded is disgusting. However lack of toilet facilities have an in evitable consequence. Of course people half to go, and if there is no Where, then they go where they are. Oregon state tells its campus …. take a trowel and dig a cat hole. Smart eh!
