Burnaby is not really serious about protecting the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. Against a major project, perhaps, as Mayor Corrigan is opposed to Kinder Morgan drilling through the mountain to test for their pipeline route. Against death by a thousand cuts, no. The parks department, along with UniverCity, is again supporting the Cardiac Classic 2014 Provincial XC Mountain Bike Championships on Sunday, Aug. 10.
Having hundreds of human-powered dirt bikes tearing up the trails is hardly the best way to protect this urban wildlife refuge.
