Officials with the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) are reminding residents that with the province’s COVID-19 emergency orders in effect, the unofficial start of the summer camping season will have to wait a bit longer at local conservation areas.
The conservation authority says because of the pandemic and limited parking, only brief visits to bike, hike, walk and enjoy nature will be allowed at Fanshawe Conservation Area this Victoria Day long weekend. “We’re asking… that people just have a brief visit and then head out so other people can get an opportunity,” said Steve Sauder, Marketing Specialist with the UTRCA, in an interview Friday with 980 CFPL’s Devon Peacock.
