Thank you and please enjoy your weekend safely.
Glenora (Shawnigan) is listed as open 6 am - 6 pm. Last weekend the same, but there was a sign at the gate state hours were 7 am - 4 pm. Not wanting to get stuck behind the gate, which do I follow, website or sign at the gate? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFollow the website. This gate will be open at 6:00 AM and closed at 6:00 PM. We'll try to have that conflicting sign removed or updated asap. Thanks for identify this issue for us.
ReplyDeleteSo the gate on Holt Road will be open, right?
ReplyDeleteThe gate we refer to as Glenora will be open at 6:00 AM and be closed at 6:00 PM. The Glenora gate does take you to the old Shawnigan Operation DLS and from this location Holt Main begins. So in answer to your question, yes, Holt Road will be open.
