Permitting long work stays and mandatory prepayment were just two adjustments to documents governing Peace Island Park approved by the District of Taylor council.
New bylaws regarding the park were officially adopted during a regular council meeting on Monday, Feb. 2. Its accompanying policy was also amended in January of last year and again in 2026 to “improve the park’s basic overall structure,” district staff wrote in a report last December.
“These amendments have proved beneficial to the overall operation of the park, and over the past year, during discussions among staff within community services, the following recommendations have been proposed,” staff wrote before offering some suggestions.
Among the recommended changes is an adjustment for people who are working in the Peace region and staying at the campsite while in the area.
Workers will now be allowed to stay on a “full-service site” for longer than 14 days, so long as they can provide proof they are here on the job at a “significant project.” Up to five sites will be available.
The adjusted bylaws now also allow specific kinds of electric utility vehicles, or EUVs, in Peace Island Park.
“(EUVs) are permissible provided they are solely powered by battery, cannot exceed a maximum speed of 30 km/h and are a golf cart, scooter, electric dirt bike or e-bicycle,” the newly adapted bylaw explains.
No changes were made to the park’s cancellation policy, but a change was made to when payment is due to ease the refund process. The total amount due for a booking must be paid before check-in.
“This will improve check-in efficiencies and, when necessary, reduce errors during the refund process due to cancellation,” staff wrote in their report.
During prepaid stays, visitors are allowed “small personal swimming pools … on individual campsites,” as per the amended policy.
Currently, the park is closed for winter. It is expected to reopen in May.
