SN-NF To Operate Caliper Lake Provincial Park Next Year

Some hope for a provincial park in northwestern Ontario.

Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls town council has voted in favour of operating Caliper Lake next summer.

Mayor Bill Thompson says they managed to get the Ministry of Natural Resources to make some concessions in the operation of the camp sites.

Thompson says the MNR has also agreed to add Sioux Narrows to the provincial park reservation system, which he feels will benefit the operation of that park next year.

Thompson estimates the town spends between 30 to 50 thousand dollars each year to operate
Sioux Narrows Park, and admits they don't know how much more it will cost to maintain Caliper Lake.
