Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Canada, including Pacific Spirit Regional Park. The park's wetland areas provide ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects, leading to high mosquito populations during the warmer months. Mosquitoes are not only annoying but can also pose a health risk due to their ability to transmit diseases.
