Every figure is copied exactly as published in BC Parks — Picnic shelters (reservations page); BC Parks Recreation User Fees Regulation, B.C. Reg. 136/2009 (consolidation current to February 17, 2026, last amended January 30, 2026); Park, Conservancy and Recreation Area Regulation Schedule K (fee schedule linked from gov.bc.ca park-permit pages) — nothing is estimated or rounded by us. Schedule: Consolidation current to February 17, 2026. Schedule K re-checked 2026-10-23 against the current Park, Conservancy and Recreation Area Regulation consolidation on BC Laws (current to October 20, 2026): Schedule K Part 1 item 1 ($250) and item 14 ($250) and Part 4 item 2(a) confirmed verbatim and kept; the film production application fee is $200 in the current Schedule K Part 1 item 21 — the $500 figure came from the archived pre-2017 text, so that entry was removed 2026-10-23 rather than carried unverified.. Add-ons (custodial, security, insurance, taxes) apply exactly as the operator’s schedule states.

How to read this listing. We checked — on the date shown — that this programme is real, publicly listed, and rents the spaces described, using the operator’s own pages. That’s a listing check, not an inspection and not a recommendation: we haven’t attended events there or verified insurance or licences. Prices, capacity and availability come from the operator’s own schedule and can change — confirm directly with the operator before you book or pay anything.
