PARK DEVELOPMENT 



Development appropriations were increased to $2,500,000, 

 resulting in an additional 1,000 campsites, 23 comfort 

 stations, 18 trailer dumping stations, eight major water and 

 sewerage systems, and expanded parking area and beach 

 development. This expansion took place in existing Pro- 

 vincial Parks and as part of initial development of four 

 parks to be opened in the 1967-1968 fiscal year period. 



HUNTING IN PARKS 



Public hunting was continued in a number of Provincial 

 Parks in southern Ontario — an area where such grounds 

 are limited and demand is high. Waterfowl hunting under 

 licence was permitted in Presqu'ile, Darlington, Holiday 

 Beach, Long Point and Rondeau. Put and take pheasant 

 hunting was very popular at Presqu'ile, Darlington and 

 Sibbald Point parks this year. Hunting is not permitted in 

 parks except those covered by regulations under The Game 

 and Fish Act.
