Local Provincial Parks Set to Open for Camping this Weekend


Not all provincial parks will be opening this long weekend.

Bruce Van Staalduinen  with Ontario Parks says 10 Northern parks were closed by the province last year.

However Staalduinen says there is good news for 3 of the parks in northeastern Ontario, which will be re-opened under local control.

He adds that some parks won't open this weekend as planned because there is still some snow on
the ground and ice on the Lake.

He suggests parts of Quetico Park will be out of service for opening weekend.

Rushing River and Blue Lake will be open.
