Ontario Parks Set New Visitor Records Across Regions

Ontario’s provincial parks are setting new records for visitors this year. The Nature Museum at Algonquin and trails at Rondeau and Sibley boost use, with expanding campgrounds including Lake of Two Rivers and a new South Tea Lake site under construction. British and American cadet groups toured Algonquin, while Rondeau hosts many foreign visitors. Conservation education and nature programs continue to grow across the system.

New Car Plates For 55 Licence Plates Change In 1955

Licence plates for 1955 feature a blue background with white letters and a six by twelve inch size. The first 999,999 plates will be unlettered, then one letter appears with every 100,000 plates from the 11,000,000th onward. The change aligns Canadian and U S plates and aims to reduce special-number requests. Hon Clare E Mapledorth cites wildlife conservation education integrated with hunting and fishing laws to protect resources and boost tourism and recreation.
