I just opened my August copy of Canadian Yachting and got a nasty shock. In a recently tabled federal budget MR. HARPER ordered budget cuts that affects Parks Canada. One area targeted was the operating budget for these 2 canal systems. The proposed changes means Parks Canada "would be aligning its seasons, hours of operation and service to better reflect patterns of visitations".
Yes - lets just rush everybody thru in July - when it is already overcrowded!!! :amgry
NMMA Canada organized a rally on Parliament Hill - pointing out to them that the boating industry contributes $15.6 billion dollars to the Canadian economy, including $5 billion from the tourism sector. They have agreed to leave the status quo in place for this season but for 2013 the situation is uncertain.
Don't be shy - right or e mail our beloved Prime Minister and tell him to leave our little part of The Great Loop alone!!!
