Parks Day - Take a Hike!  The third Saturday in July is a special day for William A. Switzer Provincial Park and for parks across Canada. Join the Friends of Switzer Park, park staff, volunteers and other visitors in celebrating Parks Day. This event kicks off with a "Toonie Pancake Breakfast" at Kelley's Bathtub with proceeds going to the Friends of Switzer Park cooperating association. Then join in some fun family-oriented recreational and educational 'Take A Hike' activities. Top of Page  Winter
Magic FestivalSkating, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and winter camping are activities that draw many of us from inside our homes during the winter months. In mid-February, the town of Hinton hosts a Winter Magic Festival. One of the highlights is the ice fishing derby held in William A. Switzer Provincial Park, sponsored by the local Fish and Game Association. Choose to fish any or all of the five lakes for whitefish and/or pike, chances are good you'll be in the running for one of the many trophies. If you're not into ice fishing, bring your cross-country skis or borrow some of our snowshoes - or, at the very least, join us for a free lunch of hotdogs and hot chocolate.
