Report from Darcy Mooney, Manager, Operations Management dated March 14, 2019. Kicking Horse Mountain Resort – Crown Grant Application Referral

  • THAT: due to significant concerns regarding public safety associated with the fire risk of timber frame buildings, proximity of buildings to the crown forest interface and the frequency and intensity of recent large scale structure fires that have occurred in the Kicking Horse Mountain Resort community;

    the CSRD Board confirm that until such time that a fire service is established at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort that is compliant with Fire Underwriters Survey requirements, the CSRD Board does not support the Province approving any Crown Grant Application within the specified Controlled Recreation Area held by Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.
