After high winds overnight, the Vancouver Park Board is also advising the public to avoid paths along the shore between Spanish Banks and Vanier Park, and between Vanier Park and Stanley Park.
Meanwhile, the Jericho Pier has been closed to allow crews the opportunity to inspect and clear the area of debris.
#VanParkBoard has temporarily closed the Jericho Pier due to high water, strong waves, and impact from floating debris (logs). The pier will be reopened once it has been inspected and cleared as safe. We will provide updates on the reopening here.
