Some Provincial Parks May Escape Closure

There may be life after all for at least three of the 10 provincial parks slated for closure in northern Ontario.

The Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities has been meeting with the Ministry of Natural Resources to try and reverse the decision.

Al Spacek is the president of FONOM and says initially they were trying to keep at least five of the parks open.

Spacek says they are working on a pilot project to keep Fushimi Park near Hearst, Ivanoe near Chapleau and Rene Brunelle near Kapuskasing open this summer.
