Some of the trails and campsites on Crown land are going to  get a bit of  boost.  The Provincial  government has announced it is setting aside $1 million dollars for maintenance on dozens of trails throughout the province, which have normally been maintained by users.

According to the Province, Recreation staff are assessing all user-maintained sites and trails in terms of public safety issues, environmental concerns and liability risks, and will work with local communities to develop a work plan and schedule upgrading and maintenance activities.

We will upgrade these sites and then we can start to charge a fee for use.
Oh please tell me that won't happen. We have so many beautiful trails in this province for hiking. Most of the ones I've been on are in great shape thanks to the hard work of the users who ensure that the only thing they leave is their tracks.

Sadly though, we are going the way of our neighbours to the south, where user fees are pretty much commonplace.
