Agreed! I hope they can catch the perp, like they did in that Vancouver case ( http://globalnews.ca/news/2468303/north ... sentenced/ )


Changing the topic slightly, still on West Bragg, I was there this weekend and it was interesting to see the extensive new development in the parking lot.

Under recent Government of Alberta infrastructure funding announcements, Alberta Parks is moving forward with upgrades to West Bragg Creek Provincial Recreation Area. The attractive trail system combined with population growth has contributed to significant increases in visitation at West Bragg Creek PRA. At the same time the site has not undergone any major improvements since the 1980s. Alberta Parks recognizes the need to expand the parking lot and modernize trailhead amenities to address site issues.

These upgrades are intended to reduce parking lot congestion and user conflict, create safe emergency access, improve the all-season trailhead experience for a variety of users, help the Greater Bragg Creek Trails Association and Parks staff maintain the trail system, and benefit local economic development.

Upgrades include:

Parking lot expansion and paving with a total capacity of 485 including:
475 public parking stalls
Eight pull-through stalls in a separate equestrian parking area
Two designated bus stalls
Designated emergency lane
Perimeter trail for easy access to the surrounding trailheads
Enhanced trailhead amenities including:
Signage and kiosks
Benches
Designated meeting locations
Three washrooms (four vault toilet stalls/washroom)
Waste and recycling receptacles
Two 10x10 foot designated sites for event tents
Maintenance compound and addition of electrical power for trail equipment storage and servicing
Permanent location for the Trail Centre operated and funded by the Greater Bragg Creek Trails Association
Designated instruction area for skills training and small-scale event staging
No parking on the North side of the access road
