It's time for one final at Frontenac Park.

Let us (re)introduce you to our Park Superintendent Ben 👋

Ben has been working with Ontario Parks for 30 years! He has worked at multiple parks throughout his time with Ontario Parks, including Bon Echo, The Massassauga and Charleston Lake Provincial Parks. Ben's favourite spot in Frontenac is the Big Salmon Lake Lookout. One park that Ben would like to visit one day is Lake Superior Provincial Park, more notably Michipicoten Island that is located within Lake Superior PP.

If you see Ben while out in the park, be sure to stop and say hi!
