Three provincial parks gain boundary additions or adjustments effective July 1, 2026
DESIGNATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF PROVINCIAL PARKS — under the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, 2006
Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice
Starting July 1, 2026, the official legal boundary descriptions for three Ontario provincial parks are being updated. Eagle-Dogtooth Provincial Park (Waterway Class) in the Kenora District gains new land designated in a 2024 addition plan. LaVerendrye Provincial Park (Waterway Class) in the Thunder Bay District incorporates additional parcels from a 2025 addition plan. Wasaga Beach Provincial Park (Recreational Class) in Simcoe County has specific portions of its boundary excluded, effectively removing a defined area near 16th Street and all of Part 20 from the park's legal extent. Operators, lessees, permittees, or anyone whose activities depend on the precise boundaries of these parks should review the updated descriptions to understand how the changes may affect their land use or access.
Who this affects: provincial park permit holders and lessees · land use planners and surveyors · adjacent landowners · resource users within or near park boundaries · municipal governments in affected areas
