Well, boys and girls, the big moment has arrived, canoe tripping season starts on Monday in Ontario! Not much consolation for our American friends, but perhaps that will change soon too.
I think the government negotiated the June date to accommodate the black fly contingent ... apparently they will starve without the influx of campers. I love early May and middle of August well into deep fall .... in between not so much, mosquitoes can be dealt with the the BFs are just plain mean and devious.
Please feed the brothers. Maybe they'll be less cannibalistic when I arrive.
went to get a couple of loads of firewood today. Blackflies were as bad as I have ever seen them. Only the smoking chainsaw seemed to help.
Assuming a citizens of another country could enter Canada, would they be allowed to camp, hike, canoe on Crown Land? More generally, are there differences in treatment between Canadian citizens and non-citizens?
Difficult to say at this point, as everything is basically day to day. I'm assuming if they open the border, it would be business as usual. The Outfitters in our area, most of whom are American, are going to have a very tough season if the borders don't open.
U.S. citizens are able to camp on Crown Land during regular times, but there is a fee, I believe it is ten bucks a night, or about $6.50 american, lol.
