The second phase of public engagement for the propsed Metro Vancouver park at Cape Roger Curtis begins this Saturday. Metro Vancouver closed the $40 million sale of the 97-hectare space bordering Bowen’s south coast in May. They’re currently in the midst of a rezoning application to Bowen Island Municipality to permit overnight camping, and have proposed up to 100 campsites for the space. The plan passed a first reading from council in April, with a second reading expected this fall. Metro Vancouver notes no camping or day use is currently allowed at the Cape site. The organization says new data will be available during this phase, including water studies, emergency management reports, and updated draft concepts. This round of consultation will once again involve a pair of in-person open houses, both at Cates Hill Chapel. The first takes place this Saturday, July 29 from 10 am to 2 pm, and the next is Wednesday, August 2 from 4 to 7 pm. There will also be two virtual webinars again, on Thursday, August 1 from 10:30 am to 12 pm, and Thursday, August 10 from 6 to 7:30 pm. Online feedback forms are available until Phase Two closes on Wednesday, August 16. Phase One ran from February 10 to March 20 this year.

This two bedroom, one bath Bowen home has that old-Bowen charm and appeal. It is a project, but represents a rare opportunity to own property in the heart of Snug Cove.
