"Vehicle entry and camping fees will remain the same as last year, a fee schedule established four yuears ago, in 1972, "And although provincial park operation and maintenance costs have increased considerably since 1972, the decision not to increase fees was based on the Ontario government's desire to contribute positively to the nation's anti-inflation goals," Mr. Bernier noted. The 1976 fee schedule is: daily vehicle permit, $1.50; annual vehicle permit, $15; daily bus entry permit, $10; daily campsite permit, $3.50; campsite permit with electricity, $4; additional vehicle permit, $1.50; interior camping permit, $2 per boat per night or $20 for 16 nights. "Free day use and camping for Canadian — resident senior citizens age 65 or more, a program initiated in 1973, will also continue unchanged," the Minister said. "Senior citizens, many of whom are faced with restricted incomes, have made excellent use of provincial parks since the no-charge program for camping and day use was in- troduced three years ago — and I am happy that it will continue," Ontario's provincial parks were used by more than 11 million people, including 1.6 million campers, last year.
