A new pilot program is set to run at Ontario’s busiest provincial parks this summer.
Starting June 7th, 17 parks will allow visitors to go online or phone in to obtain daily vehicle permits in advance of their visit.
Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks Jeff Yurek says this should hopefully avoid issues they saw last year and starting to see this year.
Yurek says for these parks, if you didn’t book a time, you may be out of luck if you show up at the gate.
The goal is to collect the data from these locations and hopefully roll out the program to all provincial parks for 2022. Provincial parks included in the pilot program include: Algonquin, Arrowhead, Batchawana Bay, Craigleith, Darlington, Forks of the Credit, Kakabeka Falls, Kettle Lakes, Lake Superior, Long Point, Mono Cliffs, North Beach, Pinery, Presqu’ile, Sandbanks, Sibbald Point, and Turkey Point.
