Officials hope to deter Lynn Canyon cliff jumping with new signs aimed at youth
Social Sharing "Spoiler alert: Your viral jump ends in the hospital," reads a new sign in the District of North Vancouver's Lynn Canyon Park aimed at informing a younger audience about the dangers of cliff jumping. "Your friends might cheer. First responders won't," reads another. They are both part of a new campaign by the district aimed at raising awareness about cliff jumping at the popular park, which has seen 40 such deaths over the past 50 years and taxed local responders. North Vancouver RCMP said the park gets more than 500,000 visits each year. It's about a 15-kilometre drive from downtown Vancouver and features a suspension bridge across the canyon, boardwalks, and stairs that hug fenced-off, at times steep drop-offs, where people often jump into pools of cold water below. Those drop-offs can be 10 metres or higher. "Although much of the cliff access is fenced off with warning signs, people still go out of bounds, over the fences to cliff jump," said District of North Vancouver Fire Chief Mike Danks. The new signs are in addition to ones already in place that show the stark statistics of injuries and deaths. "We installed bold new signs designed to resonate with younger visitors and reinforce the dangers of cliff jumping," the district said in a news release. "Cliff jumping might look cool, but it's seriously dangerous — and sometimes deadly." Cliff jumping in Lynn Canyon Park is not a criminal offence, "but we strongly advise against it," said Cpl. Mansoor Sahak in a recent video posted by the force to its social media channels. Consuming alcohol is prohibited in the park, but officials say it is often used by people cliff jumping. Patrollers can issue fines to people caught drinking in the park under B.C.'s Liquor Control and Licensing Act. Beyond the risks of drinking in precarious places, officials say there is the danger of a cliff jumper slipping and falling or hitting a rock face on their way down. And, there's the icy temperature of the water, which Danks and Sahak say can shock jumpers and cause hypothermia within minutes. "The water is very, very cold, a lot of people don't realize this," said Danks. Sahak said peer pressure to jump has played a role in some of the jumping deaths at Lynn Canyon Park with the majority of victims being young people. "So we're asking you, don't peer pressure any of your friends into doing something dangerous that could cost them their life." The district says it has increased the number of patrols conducted by park rangers to help educate park visitors.

Africville Family Reunion returns with new safety measures
Social Sharing Improved lighting, additional security and a registration system will be in place at the Africville Family Reunion this coming weekend, in response to a shooting that left five people injured at the event last July. The new measures have been implemented as the result of a safety audit organizers requested after unprecedented gun violence at the event, which reunites former residents and descendants of the historic Black community. Running for more than 40 years, the weekend festival is one of the most important of the year for many people who return to what is now a National Historic Site, after the neighbourhood was torn down by the city of Halifax in the 1960's. "We want people not only to be safe, but we need them to feel safe so that they return back out here and join with us," said Irvine Carvery, president of the Africville Genealogy Society, which hosts the annual event. Carvery said some attendees had felt apprehensive about returning, but he is confident they're feeling better knowing precautions have been put in place. "I want them to come here, feel comfortable and enjoy the fellowship and renew old acquaintances and introduce new generations to their families," he said. People from across Canada and parts of the U.S. attend each year with as many as 5,000 people passing through the park during reunion weekends, he said. It was around 10 p.m. and dark when shots were fired last year, Carvery said, so the safety review suggested lighting throughout the park. That will be done this year using portable lights. "All of the grounds should be well illuminated for people throughout the weekend," he said. 'I am not going to be afraid to go to Africville' Participants will also be registered and given a park pass as they arrive which must then be displayed while they're in the park. Additional security is being hired and police presence has been secured for the weekend. In a statement, Halifax Regional Police confirmed officers will be on site and patrolling the surrounding area. "We want the community to feel like they can celebrate their history and culture without fear. We encourage anyone who sees anything concerning to flag down an officer or call police," the statement said. Paula Grant-Smith, who grew up in Africville and has never missed a family reunion, will return this weekend. "I'm going because that is something that we've always done and I am not going to be afraid to go to Africville," Grant-Smith said. She said last year's tragedy hurt her heart, and has shaken some of her younger family members. A niece and nephew who are around the age of ten are reluctant to go back. "To have that gunfire, they were traumatized then and they're traumatized now," she said. "If they do come down there, they won't stay." She supports the new safety measures but planned on returning regardless to continue her family's tradition of honouring the spirit of Africville. Police have not made any arrests in the case, and have said they believe people have information that could help their investigation. In April, the Nova Scotia government announced it is offering a reward of up to $150,000 to try to find those responsible for the shooting. There have been no further tips as a result of the incident being added to the Major Unsolved Crimes Program, police said, adding they are still hoping someone comes forward. People are expected to begin arriving on Thursday with reunion's events running from Friday through Sunday.
