Petition to the Provincial Government of Ontario
Whereas:
The current open season at Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Park is May 18, 2018 to September 3, 2018, when other private parks and other provincial parks are open longer, (eg. Kettle Lakes Provincial Park – May 18, 2018 to October 9, 2018. We feel ‘penalized’ when we choose Ivanhoe.
We, the undersigned are requesting consideration of an extension to the camping season at Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Lake Park.
The climate in the Ivanhoe area has changed. The nicer weather is lasting longer and the season should be extended so campers can have longer use of the outdoors before our long winters set in. This would be a great improvement to our quality of life in the north.
In the north, we are very limited to recreational opportunities. Ivanhoe should stay open longer since we don’t have as many things to do as people in more populated areas. We pay similar amounts to other parks that stay open longer and since the majority of the northern parks were closed, it is only fair to at least let the remaining ones be open a longer period of time.
Please consider this for the 2018 season forward.
Updates
August 18, 2018
The feedback regarding our limited access to recreational facilities confirms that many residents share this frustration. I am currently preparing a formal letter to the Ministry to outline these concerns based on the growing list of supporters.
August 18, 2018
The momentum behind this request for an extended season at Ivanhoe Lake continues to grow in a meaningful way. It is clear that the desire for better access to our northern parks resonates with many residents who value our outdoor spaces. Thank you for your continued commitment to this goal.

Sept has the best weather for camping. We put up with the bugs in May , June and July . Let us enjoy the beauty of our park during the nicest month. Most seasonal already take care of their campsite already . Have a modified cleaning schedule for the comfort stations and you are good to go.
It should be kept open untilThanksgiving weekend, Ivanhoe is beautiful in the fall!
this is the nicest park in northern ont I was raised going to this park, and that is 60 yrs ago, it was always beautiful and fantastic for the family and kids
September is a great month to go camping
This a beautiful family campground. Summers are short Winters long should be able to enjoy from May to Sept.
Winters are so long ~ let us camp as long as possible.
Would be so so nice

Shorter season should mean a cut in fees... The fall is one of the best time for camping with cooler nights and beautiful fall colours ...
