Demographic Projections and Country Parks

growth opportunity: New Canadians have been slow to embrace camping and canoe tripping and, given all the demographic projections, it is here where most population growth and opportunity will be found, according to Globe and Mail. If the country parks wish to maintain usage levels or, even better, expand them, it will be in attracting first- and second-generation Canadians. The boomers are seniors and increasingly less adventurous. It already a challenge to hang onto those who grew up camping. If strangers in the neighbourhood park worry people, bears in the wilder parks can terrify them. Their children might be more interested in playing Pokemon than catching frogs.
