        Is access to Pass Main and Mt. Arrowsmith via the Cameron Connector from the Alberni Highway still available weekdays (like earlier in August, or just on weekends now? Thanks.

        HI there - wondering if hunting on foot is allowed on weekends via the gate at the end of Pannell Road outside of Cowichan Station (Duncan)?

        Hello, thanks for all the great comments regarding your gate openings. I am planning to do the Century Sam Lake hike on Saturday, Septemper 17th with 4 other people and I am coming from the mainland. It would be awesome to know if the Comox Main gates would be open for that day in advance. Otherwise it will be a sad ferry ride home again. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks so much for your time.
