The spring storm hitting the Comox Valley has forced Comox鈥檚 iconic Filberg Park to cancel its planned festivities for Saturday.

鈥淯nfortunately, the weather pattern has not changed, and we have had to close Filberg Park for the safety of all users,鈥� said Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park Association executive director, Linda Thomas. 鈥淲e never take closing the Park lightly, but the safety of all guests is our priority. This means the Filberg Gift Shop cannot open today (Saturday), and our Easter at Filberg Park Event cannot happen today.鈥�

There are plans to have an event on Easter Monday instead.

鈥淲e will do a modified Easter at Filberg Park Event on Monday, April 10, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. to allow families to take part in the celebrations,鈥� said Thomas. 鈥淲e hope that families can come out and celebrate the final day of Spring Break with us at Filberg Park.鈥�
