Hello, I received this announcement today from Lindsay Rodger, Acting Superintendent of Point Pelee National Park. Thought this would be of interest to birders near Point Pelee.
Please remember that tf you choose to go birding, please follow federal, provincial and municipal guidelines regarding COVID-19 as restrictions on non-essential travel, physical distancing and party size are still in effect and subject to change. Message start: I’m pleased to let you know that beginning June 13, Point Pelee National Park will be open on weekends. The park will offer limited visitor access and basic services on Saturdays and Sundays, 10:00 am to sunset. The construction and paving of the main park road is underway. During this phase of the road renewal project, as a way to prevent public safety concerns, Point Pelee National Park will remain closed to all visitor access until June 13, and will be closed Monday to Friday through June. We thank visitors for their patience and understanding as Parks Canada works to enhance infrastructure and improve the overall visitor experience. For detailed and up-to-date information regarding what facilities will be open, and which remain closed, I invite you to consult the Point Pelee National Park website ( https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/on/pelee/visit/covid-19-info), or Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/PointPeleeNP/) We have missed our visitors, and look forward to welcoming them back starting June 13.
