[edit] Re: merger of related articles

I've merged Cultus Lake and Cultus Lake Provincial Park into this article since they are all related, and the two now-merged articles were really only stubs. It's my intention to further expand this article, to include more details about the whole community-park-quest for village matter. --Ckatz 18:43, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In Chilliwack or not?

Just curious as I've been trotting around changing Communities catted articles to Category:Communities within district municipalities in British Columbia. Is the village at Cultus Lake run by the FVRD, or by Chilliwack - or does it have a village council perhaps?Skookum1 21:23, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

From the Cultus Lake Park web site:

"The Cultus Lake Park Board, the City of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley Regional District are working together to look at options for a new system of governance at Cultus Lake Park. The current system of governance creates serious obstacles to the financing of new infrastructure such as roads, sewers and waterworks. Cultus Lake Park is managed under a unique provincial statute, the Cultus Lake Park Act (1932). The act gives the City conditional tenure over the 640-acre park, but prohibits the City from selling property. Residents, either seasonal or year-round, lease their properties for a 21-year term. Businesses lease their properties for a five-year term."

[edit] Minor update

Changed wording from "Provincial Park of Canada" to "Provincial Park of British Columbia" Brilang 19:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] needs split

The community and the lake need to be sepraate articles; the lake article would be Cultus Lake (British Columbia), cf. Cultus Lake (oregon). There are a couple of other Cultus Lakes in BC, but none that would every likely have articles.
