Beginning today Point Pelee National Park will be temporarily closed to visitors.
The closure is to allow for Parks Canada and Caldwell First Nation to conduct a deer cull. There is a overabundance of white-tailed deer in the park. The current deer herd population remains higher than what the ecosystem can support and poses a safety risk. All the deer that are culled are given to Caldwell First Nation to use for ceremonial, personal, and traditional use. None of it is sold for profit.
The park will re-open on November 24th.
The Canada Strong Pass will be back for Summer 2027.
The federal government’s 2026 budget released last week includeds the program for a third consecutive year, with free admission to Parks Canada sites, discounts on VIA Rail travel and reduced admission at participating museums. There’s also a new addition: discounted access to Indigenous-led museums and cultural centres.
Exact dates and program details for 2027 haven’t been announced yet.
We are just over a week away from Santa’s first visit.
The Wallaceburg Santa Claus Parade is Saturday, November 21 at 6 p.m.
