Admission is free, and you can camp there all winter. And the regulations aren't as onerous as in our national parks, nor are the crowds.... That's where I go most weekends. > I don't think our prime minister and his finance minister intended this when they cut Parks Canada's budget, but Keji will now become more of a wilderness and less a playground...
