I am connected to the Cultus Lake Provincial Park because I have fond memories from my youth, teenage years, and adult. Cultus Lake Provincial Park is only about a 40-minute drive from where I grew up. As a youth, I spent the summers as a Boy Scotts on the lake learning survival skill and how to canoe. As a teenager, I attended a summer camp on Cultus Lake, where I have memories of kayaking, canoeing, tubing and swimming. One of the attractions located in Cultus Lake is the Cultus Lake Waterslides, which is known around British Columbia as one of the best waterslide parks in the province. I had the fortunate opportunity to work as a lifeguard there when I was 18 years old. I feel connected to Cultus Lake because of the memories I have and the shire beauty of the landscape and freshwater.
