Park Cuts Criticized
The Ministry of Natural Resources is being criticized for its decision to cut jobs and downgrade the designation of Caliper Lake Provincial Park in Nestor Falls.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell says the Liberals are failing to take into consideration the impact the decision will have on the local economy.
The changes at Caliper mean many parks services won't be available to users.
The Liberals says low visitation was a reason for the changes.
Campbell says had the area's travel centres been open, more people may have visited the park.
