TOURIST OUTFITTERS^ CAMPS 



Under the provisions of Section 21 of the Game and Fisheries Act, 

 both the establishment and operation of tourist resorts catering to sportsmen 

 and vacationists interested in angling, hunting and camping were controlled and 

 regulated by licence in that part of the Province lying north of the line of 

 the Canadian National Railway from Parry Sound to Pembroke, but excluding the 

 "Hinterland Area" in the Patricia portion of the District of Kenora lying 

 approximately north of latitude fifty-one degrees forty-eight minutes. 



By application of conservation principles embodied in the Recreational 

 and Land Use Zoning Plan of the Department, dispersal of additional Tourist 

 Outfitters* Camp to localities where the fishing and hunting resources are in 

 average or better abundance was encouraged. Also the improvement and standardi- 

 zation of existing fishing and hunting camps to meet the increasing demand for 

 better accommodation and modern facilities. 



Although 56 new camps or conversions were completed and licenced 

 during the year, 17 licenced camps were closed indefinitely or reverted to 

 other purposes so there was a net gain of only 39 licenced Outfitters,
