A week after a 17-year-old fell to his death in Lynn Canyon, the District of North Vancouver is installing new multilingual signs that warn of the dangers of adventuring in the unforgiving area.

The signs, written in English, French, Spanish, German, Farsi, Mandarin, Japanese and Hindi, are striking with bright colours and easy-to-read fonts.

Black and red graphics feature clear images of the prohibited activities of climbing fences into restricted areas, swimming and cliff diving. A large skull and crossbones sits next to a warning of 91裸聊视频渆xtreme danger.91裸聊视频�

Steffanie Warriner, the District of North Vancouver91裸聊视频檚 director of parks, said the signs are being placed in 91裸聊视频渟trategic locations91裸聊视频� where visitors are most likely to see them and read the information needed to 91裸聊视频渕ake safe and informed choices.91裸聊视频�

Warriner said the district has been providing information and signage warning of the perils of the park since the early 1990s, but over time the messaging has evolved and the signs have been relocated to ensure that 91裸聊视频渢he message stays fresh,91裸聊视频� is easily understood and is in the most visible of locations.

91裸聊视频淎n important part of managing and operating any park space is helping visitors understand the area that they91裸聊视频檙e in, know how to recreate safely, and have a fun and positive experience,91裸聊视频� she said.

In previous decades dozens have succumbed to the dangers of the park, with last month91裸聊视频檚 17-year-old boy, a student from Ontario set to start at UBC in the fall, marking the second death this summer alone. In July, a swimmer died after going over the canyon91裸聊视频檚 Twin Falls.

91裸聊视频淟ynn Canyon, like many natural parks, is rugged. There are steep slopes, there are unexpected and changing conditions. The water is extremely cold, and it moves quickly,91裸聊视频� said Warriner. 91裸聊视频淲e really encourage and request people to be mindful when they91裸聊视频檙e in the area. Stay on the trails, make informed choices. We91裸聊视频檝e designated trails, and we put a lot of effort into showing people where they can go to enjoy the park safely.91裸聊视频�

Warriner said the district wants tourists to enjoy the park and learn about the area91裸聊视频檚 natural environment, 91裸聊视频渂ut to do so safely.91裸聊视频�

The signs will continue to be implemented within the park over the coming weeks.
