Camping enthusiasts around Pinery Provincial Park can breathe a sigh of relief as Ontario Parks halts further campsite removals and commits to relocating lost spaces to safer zones. The province clarified that 52 sites were taken down to protect sensitive ecological habitats, refuting claims of 91 closures raised by local advocate Jeff Schlemmer. While Schlemmer remains cautiously optimistic until final plans are released, the government’s 10 year strategy balances environmental conservation with preserving outdoor recreation for regional campers.
