Peninsula Park to get $1 million upgrade
Posted By BILL HENRY, SUN TIMES STAFF
Virtually every visitor to Bruce Peninsula National Park will benefit from the $1-million federal government investment announced there Tuesday, park superintendent Ivan Smith said.
The money to revitalize the park's Cyprus Lake Campground includes wider and improved trail access to the famous grotto at Georgian Bay, which almost every visitor to the park wants to see, whether they camp at Cyprus Lake or just hike for the day, Smith said.
"It will certainly improve the experience of the hiking trails, including the grotto," he said.
Bruce-Grey Owen Sound MP Larry Miller announced the $1- million project at the Parks Canada Visitor Centre near Tobermory Tuesday afternoon. It includes new washroom facilities, fixtures and tent pads at campsites, new toilet buildings, new bear-proof recycling and waste collection facilities, as well as the trail improvements. The money will also pay for the design stages for a new campground entrance and registration building planned in the future.
Only thing that worries me is the gov has started throwing large chunks of money at all kinds of things.
