UPDATE:
The Riverview lands sit in limbo, more so than any time in history. Its fate to be decided in an upcoming election on May 9, 2017.
The winter has been a long, cold one and the gardens and Arbouretum have sustained some damage from numerous snowfalls and unusually frigid temperatures. As of the first week of April Riverview's spectacular trees and gardens are ready to bloom three weeks late.
BC Housing has notified our group that proceeding with tree tours and treefest will get more complicated and expensive. Our group of dedicated volunteers will have to fulfill many of the same requirements as the multi-million dollar film industry if they want to have a presence on the lands. This is having a significant impact on the current workload of the group as well as presenting them with fees the group cannot afford.
