Metro Parks offered Bowen Islanders two options for moving forward with the cabins in Davies Orchard. The dots on the above concept board represent people’s preferences, including a third option - written by members of the community, which would mean keeping all the cottages.

Between 50 and 60 people attended the Davies Orchard Open House last Saturday, hosted by Metro Vancouver Parks.

Jeff Fitzpatrick, division director for Metro Parks, says that while many people are passionate about the heritage cottages and keeping them all, there has been a lot of feedback expressing interest in creating bookable spaces out of one or two of the cottages, as well as a nature-scape for families and children.

He adds that a report on the public consultations will likely come out in the fall, and a decision on how to proceed with changes to Davies Orchard will be made after that.
