Camping, a long-cherished Canadian pastime may be in jeopardy, thanks to a recent change of interpretation made by the Canada Revenue Agency and the Federal Government that is threatening small campgrounds with a 300% taxation increase. This poorly thought out decision has far-reaching financial effects on a local, regional, provincial and national level and is one that affects all Canadians.

IMPACT

• Prohibitive taxation reclassification will force many small campground owners to shut down their sites.
• Decreased tourism and revenue loss for rural and northern communities
• Increased unemployment rates in these areas, as a result of seasonal job loss due to fewer tourists and campgrounds.
• Fewer campsites mean fewer opportunities to visit some of Canada’s natural wonders.
