Ôasis pods in Kejimkujik National Park and other overnight stays in Nova Scotia are delayed to June.

Ôasis pods in Kejimkujik National Park and other overnight stays in Nova Scotia are delayed to June because of COVID-19/Parks Canada

Parks Canada-administered places in Nova Scotia will delay the launch of most visitor services including camping until at least June 1 to align with provincial measures to limit the spread of COVID-19.

This includes Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, Fort Anne National Historic Site, Port-Royal National Historic Site, Grand-Pré National Historic Site, Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site and Kejimkujik National Park Seaside.

These services and facilities will remain closed to visitors until at least June 1:

• Access to visitor reception centres and buildings.
• All campgrounds including front and back country.
• Roofed accommodations, including oTENTiks, Ôasis, rustic cabins and yurts.
• All interpretation programs, experiences and guided tours.

There will be limited day use of trails and other outdoor settings. Green spaces and some washrooms will remain open.

If local visitors choose to travel within their municipality, Parks Canada asks them to be "cautious and conservative in their choice of activities and to stay within the bounds of personal knowledge and skill level." Visitors should respect the guidance of public health experts and authorities and make every effort to limit the spread of COVID-19.

All reservations impacted by this delayed opening will be automatically cancelled and refunded. Visitors don't have to do anything to cancel reservations.

The Parks Canada website provides detailed information on what locations are open, what visitors can expect, how to prepare for a visit and what services may be available.
