Thank you for your article last week about the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) being sued over an incident during the 2021 toad migration (Pique, Dec. 14: “Resort Municipality of Whistler being sued over Lost Lake bike crash”). A biker was allegedly injured after they hit a road closure barrier that was there to protect the toads.
The shocking story here is that the suit took a turn last month when the RMOW filed a notice of application to be granted leave from the case and add a third party, Liz Barrett. I don’t know how many of your readers know Liz, but she’s a longtime Whistler resident, nature photographer, and stewardship advocate.
It doesn’t make sense to me that the RMOW is pointing the finger at Liz. My hope is that the RMOW will work to swiftly remove this unjust burden from Liz. If anyone feels the same, please let the RMOW know.
