Tenquille Lake Cabin Rules

The Provincial permit to build this cabin stipulates the following "rights of use and occupation" -

The cabin is provided as a public service for the benefit of all back country mountaineers and the general public.
The cabin shall strictly be used for non-profit recreational use.
The cabin belongs to the Provincial government, but will be maintained and managed by volunteers from the Pemberton Wildlife Association (PWA).
For more information - or to pass along a comment - please go to the PWA website.

Please keep the cabin clean and tidy.
Leave your muddy boots outside - along with your dog!
Feel free to sign the journal - but do not deface the facility by writing or carving on the walls, tables, etc.
Welcome and make room for everyone who shows up at the cabin and wishes to use it. Work together to have an enjoyable stay.
Please do not damage the front porch with wood cutting efforts. Axes, saws etc. must be used on the ground level.

Propane stoves are provided for cooking.
Do not place stoves on birch counter top - use them on the tables.
Do not take any dishes, pots, cutlery outside. The kitchen supplies belong in the cabin and are to stay inside.
If you prefer to cook outside over an open fire you must provide your own cookware.
Clean up before you leave. Pack out all of your garbage.
The sink drains into a bucket outside (during summer use). Winter users will have to put the bucket under the sink. Please do not let the bucket overflow. Dump it well away from the creek.
Do not leave food in the cabin. It will only attract rodents - if you packed it in you can pack it out!

The wood stove is not intended for cooking
Minimize use of the stove to save firewood. Use only when necessary - (wet or cold conditions). Cabin will become very warm with the stove on…..
Firewood is not provided. If you must use the stove you are expected to have your own tools and to find clean, dry wood. Please do not burn building materials which are stacked nearby.
Do not cut standing trees. Many trees around the cabin have been damaged by indiscriminate use of axes and saws.
A fire extinguisher has been provided for emergencies.

Thanks!
