Chatham-Kent residents could get into Rondeau or Wheatley Provincial Parks this year, free of charge.

A new program is being launched that includes a backpack, a field guide and a pass for free entry into the park.

It’s a partnership with the Chatham-Kent Public Library, and Ontario Parks.

Packs may be borrowed for seven days and can picked up or returned at any CKPL branch.  Search and place holds on Packs through Chatham-Kent Public Library’s website at www.ckpl.ca
