🚨 Calling All Tallus Ridge Residents 🚨

Our friends who own the beautiful vineyard in Tallus need our help!

On Friday, September 19th, between 9–10 pm, individuals caused major damage to their vineyard:
• Stole the tractor
• Used it to demolish the small house on site
• Dug up parts of the vineyard using the old lower Tallus access

The RCMP have been notified, but this is our neighborhood, and we need to work together to protect it.

👉 If you saw or heard anything suspicious, or if your security cameras caught activity between 9–10 pm, please review and share any information to

Let’s come together to find out who did this before it happens again or escalates further.

Thank you,
Your Tallus Ridge Neighbors

Make sure you all download this incredible app developed and launched last year by our friends . This app helps to report illegal dumping in backcountry areas that will harm wildlife etc… It’s easy to download. Simply look it up on either Apple or Android. Kane and his team have helped some so much! If you like clean areas to explore let’s help to keep it clean.

Great find by our amazing member Rick and his family just beside the Tallus vineyards today! Folks even with no fire ban this absolute disregard for fire safety is what gets our community in trouble. If this is you or if you know the person who is responsible for these actions please talk to them for us all. We only get one chance to do it right! Thank you for properly extinguishing and making sure this fire was safely out and cold before leaving it be.

Great work identifying a small lighting strike that was slowly turning into a forest fire yesterday by our Community Glenrosa club member and Simon and his family! While on a routine putting with his family Simon smelt smoke, searched and followed his nose until the hot spot was found and called it in via satellite phone with a precise pin. BC fire sent out a pumper truck to fully extinguish this lightning strike so this week when warmer weather arrives it won’t turn into something potentially bigger.. Having educated club members out looking for these potential hazards is paramount! Thank you to all of our members who continue to advocate for safe riding and doing it right for our community!
