Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day🧡, we honour Survivors, their families and communities, and remember the children who never returned home.

Understanding this history means recognizing both the ongoing impacts of the Residential School system and the strength, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous peoples and communities.

Join us as we commit to reconciliation.

Take a moment today to learn, reflect, and hear the voices of Indigenous peoples.

The fall colours are *beautiful* right now, so we expect to be quite busy the next few weeks.

Fall reminders:
🍂 Once we reach day use capacity for a date, you cannot purchase a DVP online, by phone, or in park for that day.
🍁 Wardens use vehicle licence plates to confirm that your vehicle is associated with a valid camping or day use permit. *Please* ensure your licence plate information is correct in your reservation.
🍂 If you have a seasonal permit, you still need to reserve a DVP (at no additional cost!), and the seasonal permit must be displayed.

We see all kinds of wildlife off the Visitor Centre viewing deck, and on rare occasion, even a flying beaver!
🛩️ 🦫
This DeHavilland Turbo Beaver is operated by the Ministry of Natural Resources' Aviation, Forest Fire, and Emergency Services (AFFES) section and is based out of Smoke Lake for the summer. The plane is used to get staff in and out of the backcountry, conduct fish and wildlife research, help with emergency responses, and more. This plane can land and take off from Algonquin Park’s lakes making it an incredible resource for staff getting into the most remote places in the park.

The park would like to thank AFFES and our fantastic pilot, Ben – we couldn’t do what we do without you. Until next year!

As our forests begin to glow with the vibrant colours of fall, take a moment to appreciate these trees that make our park so special! From providing habitat for wildlife to creating breathtaking scenery, every tree in Algonquin Park plays an important role in creating healthy ecosystems.

Get outside, hug a tree, and celebrate our trees.

We love the magic of seasons.
🍃☀️🍂❄️
Three months ago, days were at their longest, and this view would've come with the buzz of mosquitoes. Three months from now, days will be at their shortest and it will be a world of snow and ice.
Today, day and night are equal length, and leaves are changing from green to red, orange, and yellow.
