Have you heard the saying "take only photos, leave only footprints"?

This is part of what it means to . Instead of taking home rocks, plants or other natural objects, you can take pictures or even make sketches or paintings.🎨

Make sure on your next camping trip or hike, to only leave footprints. Please take with you any gear or garbage you may have and properly dispose of waste in provided garbage bins. You can also stay on designated trails to minimize your impacts in the area you're in. 🥾

What other principles do you practice? 🌱

This week we’re shining a light on the beautiful candles and soaps available in the Park Store from Sequoia, a proudly Indigenous company.

Made from a blend of soy and beeswax, these candles feature comforting scents like sweetgrass, blackberry sage, and red clover—bringing a touch of nature into your space Once your candle has finished, the reusable tins can be rinsed out and given a second life—perfect for reducing waste!

Stop by the Park Store to explore all our products from Sequoia and the Ontario Parks Store. 100% of the proceeds from your purchases are reinvested into over 330 provincial parks across Ontario. We’re open this spring from 9am-4pm Fri - Sun.
