BC Parks 2012/13 Statistics Report

Table of Contents

BC Parks Budget Expenditures:

BC Parks Budget expenditures decreased from $53.0 million to $46.8 million. The decrease is largely explained by

a $6.9 million decrease in compensation required to buy out timber and mineral rights in new parks and

conservancies. This compensation was down in 2012/13 as the land acquired did not require extensive buyouts.

This amount tends to vary widely from year to year. Amortization expenditures also decreased after a one-time

decommissioning of parking machines within day use areas took place in 2011.

Revenues:

Recreation User Fee revenues increased by 5.4% overall, a difference of $829,000 compared to 2011. Much of this

increase can be attributed to the increase in camping attendance due to much better weather across the province.

The Kootenay Okanagan, Northern and South Coast regions all posted substantial increases in revenue (5.8%

14.6%, and 10.8% respectively).

Park Use Permit fee revenues fell by 7.2%, returning to normal levels. An extended ski season in western BC

caused an increase in ski hill revenue in 2011.

Recoveries:

Recoveries to BC Parks dropped by 26.6% to $239,192 in 2012/13. National Park Establishment funding is no

longer available, and the Stein Valley Emergency Program recovery also ended.

BC Parks Statistics Report 2012/13 Executive Summary

Attendance:

Overall park attendance increased by 7.6% in 2012/13. This increase can be attributed to a general improvement in

weather after an exceptionally cold and rainy summer last year throughout many areas of the province. An

improvement in data reporting practices, a result of the implementation of a new attendance reporting system, also

contributed to the increase.

Day use attendance increased by 8.3% overall, with increases showing in the Northern, South Coast, Thompson

Cariboo and West Coast Regions. Parking machines were removed in May 2011, and after a rainy 2011 summer,

day use attendance rose to its highest level in years.

Camping attendance also increased by 5.2% overall. Every region showed an increase in camping attendance with

the exception of Thompson Cariboo, which showed a slight decline (1%). The Northern region saw the largest

climb, as attendance levels returned to normal levels after flooding caused the closure of many of the region's

highways in 2011.

BC Parks tracks attendance through campground registrations, trail and traffic counters and visual counts. In order

to have standard, comparable information, all “visits” are stated in person days (so one person staying for two days

counts as two “visits”). Average party sizes are applied to daily counts of cars, boats, camping parties, etc. to obtain

the number of actual visits. Occasionally, automatic traffic counters may malfunction or data may otherwise be

impossible to obtain. In these cases, where appropriate, BC Parks may provide estimates of attendance based on

historical averages.

The new attendance reporting system implemented different counting procedures for marine visits, which caused

boating attendance to appear to drop from 2011 levels. There were also some shifts in relative attendance levels

between regions compared to last year, as some parks were moved on the online attendance system into new

regions. Parks that demonstrated a significant change to visitation compared to 2011/12 are noted on pages 6 to 8

of this report.

Visitor Satisfaction 80% 79% -1%

Operating Expenditures:

Overall, BC Parks operating expenditures dropped slightly, with decreases in amortization costs and spending on

goods and services contributing the most to the reduction. Recreation service delivery contract costs increased

overall due to increases in the prices of key inputs into park operations, such as labour and fuel.

Capital Expenditures:

Overall capital expenditures fell 19.1% as a result of the reduced compensation paid for timber and mineral rights.

2011 was the final year for much of the compensation that was required to be paid for new land added to the

provincial system in recent years. Capital investments in park facilities increased by 28% due to an increase in the

capital budget.

Satisfaction:

The overall visitor satisfaction rating in 2012/13 was 79%, a slight drop from 82% in 2011 and just under the

management target of 80%. The satisfaction rating is based on five key performance indicators (cleanliness of

washrooms, cleanliness of grounds, sense of security, control of noise, and condition of facilities) as measured by

the annual Visitor Satisfaction Survey. Campground visitors remained highly satisfied with the cleanliness of the

grounds (90% excellent or above average) and sense of security (84%). The rating given to condition of facilities

(77% excellent or above average) remained unchanged from 2011, while control of noise (75%) and cleanliness of

washrooms (68%) experienced slight declines. BC Parks will continue to work with park facility operators to ensure

visitors are highly satisfied with their stays in provincial campgrounds.

Warehouse.1The BC Parks Parking Program was discontinued in May, 2011.

2Silver Star Park also generated $285,867 in revenue for Nordic skiing trail fees. However, this revenue is retained by the non-profit operator,

and any money that exceeds the operating costs to run the Nordic facilities is re-invested into the park's infrastructure. As such, park use

permit fees for this particular operation are waived.

Source: Financial Data Warehouse.

An additional $10,000 from Empire Valley Ranch was held in a deferred revenue account and used to complete projects in 2011/12.

1Tatshenshini River Rafting - deferred revenue error in 11/12 caused that year's revenue to be understated and 12/13 to be overstated.

Revenue in 11/12 was deferred and brought forward in 12/13.

2Empire Valley Ranch - 11/12 saw deferred revenue brought forward from previous year, causing revenue to appear to be higher than usual.

BC Parks Statistics Report 2012/132012 BC Parks Visitor Satisfaction Survey

Excellent

Did not use

The Visitor Satisfaction Survey assesses the ministry’s effectiveness in achieving

client satisfaction with campground facilities and services. Key parks are surveyed

on a rotational basis, every 4 years. The survey is based on sound statistical

principles, design and methodology. All ratings are based on responses of

“excellent” and “above average” to the survey questions. Surveys are usually

undertaken yearly from mid-May to the first week of September. BC Parks' overall

visitor satisfaction rating is based on an index of visitor responses to questions

about five key services: cleanliness of restrooms; cleanliness of grounds; sense of

security; control of noise; and condition of facilities. The survey results also include

demographic data.

Overall visitor satisfaction was 79% in 2012. Campground visitors are highly

satisfied with the cleanliness of the grounds (90 per cent of visitors rated this as

excellent or above average in 2012) and sense of security (84 per cent excellent or

above average). The lowest rating was given to the cleanliness of restrooms (about

67 per cent excellent or above average in 2012).
