Keji Job Cuts Will Hurt Queens & Annapolis Counties: Mayor

There will be a lot of lost business revenue when Parks Canada reduces staff at Kejimkujik National Park, making it a seasonal operation.  That word from District of Queens Mayor John Leefe.  He's fired-off a letter to the minister responsible for Parks Canada, Peter Kent.  The mayor says the ramifications of cutting 11 jobs and reducing Keji to a five month operation will hurt Queens County and part of Annapolis and be felt elsewhere in the province too.



Mayor Leefe says there's been too much work on everyone's part to make Keji a year-round operation to let it fall victim to what he calls the ruthless work of bureaucrats.  He's pleading with the Parks Canada minister to leave it alone.
