The cost of en- camping will become significant rise in the ting and maintenance of Ontario's 127 provincial parks has necessitated these fee in- creases," Miller said. "It is the government's policy that a fair share of the total operating and main- tenance costs of our parks should be paid by the users," the Minister told Members. "On the other hand, capital investment for land acquisition and park development is not charged back through user fees." In 1972, when the park fees were last raised, the "fair share" represented 60 per cent of the operating and maintenance cost, but in the past five years this per- centage has slipped to about 34 per cent, Miller said. Under the new restrictions on the use of alcohol, possession of an open con- tainer of alcoholic beverage will be limited to campers on their campsites,,,Miller said. In addition, alcoholic `"beverages will be banned entirely in certain southern Ontario parks at selected periods during the season. "These two measures are aimed at assisting in the control of rowdyism, about which the Ontario Provincial Parks 'Council expressed concern in its annual report," Miller said. During the first year in 1978, alcohol bans will be applied on an experimental basis. WE CAN HELP YOU!
