Park Protest Planned

There are more protests planned at some provincial parks in southern Ontario this weekend.

Student workers plan to stop vehicles to inform park users vacation and holiday pay is being denied to 3,400 high school, college and university students working for the province this summer.

Students received such pay in the past, but the government said this year the Crown is exempt from that section of the Employment Standards Act.

That decision also impacts students working at parks in northwestern Ontario, but there are no plans yet for any protests.
