Tim Horton's Camp

The Manitoba government has cancelled a plan to build a Tim Hortons kids camp on a lake in Whiteshell Provincial Park.

Manitoba Conservation and the Tim Horton Children's Foundation unveiled a plan earlier this year to build a $10-million camp for up to 260 kids on Meditation Lake just west of the Ontario/Manitoba border.

However, the province announced last week the camp will not be built there because there some water-quality concerns related to high levels of blue-green algae.

The decision was also partly due to some backlash at public meetings.

The Tim Horton Children's Foundation runs five camps in Canada and a sixth in Kentucky, all for
kids from underprivileged backgrounds.
