My understanding of Castle is that a final report is being issued this spring. In that report, there will be a phased out ban of OHV over the next 3 to 5 years. That's what I gather from the news articles I read.
This Bighorn Area issue covers a lot more ground. Given how the government (NDP) chose not to participate in the open house is telling. I fully expect this area to follow the Castle route and be labeled a provincial park. I am still unsure if OHV will be allowed when that happens but I'd be guessing there would be a phased out ban there as well.
Really sucks. Seems like the NDP are only listening to Y2Y/Love Your Headwaters.
It should also be noted that Love Your Headwaters is asking for restrictions in, not only Bighorn, but also Castle, Kananaskis, and Livingstone-Porcupine Hills.
Phillips is basically the fox running the hen house here.
