Occupy Winter Movement Hits Keji National Park

A grass roots movement is gaining momentum across the country this weekend. Occupy Winter events are planned nation-wide including an event at Kejimkujik National Park in Maitland Bridge. People are expected to gather at the park and demonstrate their position of having national parks open and accessible year-round. A supporter of the movement, Peter Rogers, says they want to inspire change.



The Federal government decided last year to make most parks seasonal, meaning they only offer services during peak times. People are encouraged to visit Keji this weekend to hike, ski or snowshoe and show their support for a year-round national park.
