Tourism Powell River executive director Tracey Ellis snapped this image on a ride around Inland Lake October 1, 2023, after BC Parks claimed the trail has recently been significantly improved.

A few years ago I met a woman who had just completed the 13.2-kilometre navigation of the Inland Lake trail in her wheelchair [qathet Regional District seeks repairs to popular park trail,” January 5].

She said: “I’m a professor of physiology at Berkeley and have travelled the world extensively, but I’ve never experienced a natural access as amazing as this. Your community should be very proud to have created something so unique.”

I’m flabbergasted that the provincial and federal governments haven’t stepped in to remediate the condition of this world-class, wheelchair accessible trail.
