It happened in 2019 and now they’re fining him?
He was fired in 2019. His union filed a grievance and he was ordered to be reinstated in 2021.
I'm not condoning his actions but any serious mountain biker knows that the sports popularity is largely due to trails built illegally...errrr....ummm....without permission. Sedona, Durango and Breckenridge trails come to mind in the US but the North Shore and Squamish area is the same. Here's a quote from an NSMA article in 2019..."By the ministry definition, virtually all the mature trails on the North Shore were illegally built, including Ladies Only, Pipeline, Ned's, Seventh Secret, TNT and many others. Without unsanctioned building there would have been no mountain bike trails on the North Shore at all. The same goes for Squamish, Pemberton and Whistler."
