Point Pelee National Park will reopen on Saturday, resuming its daily winter hours of 7:00am to sunset.
Parks Canada and Caldwell First Nation have completed the deer reduction activity in the park as part of the Hyperabundant Deer Management Program, which includes ecosystem monitoring, deer population monitoring, species at risk protection, ongoing research and collaboration, and reducing the white-tailed deer population to sustainable levels based on the park’s goals to achieve ecological integrity – the health and wholeness of the environment and nature.
Parks Canada is actively working with Caldwell First Nation whose traditional territory encompasses Point Pelee National Park. This includes the Hyperabundant Deer Management Program activities that provide opportunities for Caldwell First Nation to mentor youth and strengthen traditional connections to the land, in addition to sharing knowledge and expertise with Parks Canada.
