The Douglas Lake Cattle Company has won a BC Court of Appeal case, which overturns a ruling that forced it to allow public access to two lakes in the Nicola Valley. In the decision, a three-member panel voted unanimously that the trail leading to Minnie Lake and Stoney Lake is not public land. Their decision came after a ruling in Kamloops court in 2018 that the cattle company had to allow access to those two lakes. Rick McGowan is with the Nicola Valley Fish and Gaming Club which is unhappy with the BC Court of Appeal's ruling.

Rick McGowan has taken his 30-year fight with a wealthy BC Ranch owner all the way to the BC Supreme Court. It's about exercising the public's right to access public water using public roads, but that's not how property owner of the 250,000 hector ranch sees it. The Nicola Valley Fish and Game Club does though, and so do many others who are lining up behind Rick and his Club to see this fight through to the end.
