parking on mount sicker road posted on: 01 / 31 / 2019

The parking mentioned and shown above is NOT public parking. It is PRIVATE land owned by the farmer whose field you can see in the background. The farmer has given the SVI members permission to park there provided we are responsible for our own actions but it is important to note that this parking is not open to the general public unless permission is given by the landowner.

It is important to note that the parking area noted as 20 feet past the Grace Road gate is privately owned land and the owners also own the large hay field next to it. the BCHBC ought to get permission to use the parking area from the owners in writing. Some individual members of the SVI have obtained permission to park at that parking spot but it is not public land. Important to know for liability issues.
