If you're in favor of extending the camping season at Paint Lake Provincial Park, there's an on-line petition to sign.

Thompson resident Randy Kajtar (Ka-tarr) started a Care2 petition he's intending to send to our MLA Steve Ashton once he's got 500 signatures.   Here he shares what the body of the petition says.

"From 1977 to 2001 there was fall access to Paint Lake provincial Park up to October long weekend, conditions permitting.  This included camping, access to the fish cleaning building, and leaving the government docks in place so boat owners and remote cottagers could continue to use them.   As taxpayers and stakeholders we support a return to having access to our park in the fall season."
