Family kicked out from provincial park, forced to drive home in middle of night
A New Hamburg family was forced to drive home six hours from Rideau Park in the middle of the night after they say a park ranger accused them of being unruly. A $180 ticket that was handed out said it was because of unruly language.
“It was not loud voices. It was not yelling. We were just having a normal conversation,” says the mother Nicole Willfang. “He [the park ranger] was very rude to us.”
The family says there are other online reviews about the park where people raise similar concerns about dealing with unfair treatment about noise complaints.

One of Canada's largest outdoor cannabis farms is getting close to its first harvest, which could amount to almost 40,000 kg.
The 100-acre farm near Brantford first planted back in May. Now, months later, the investment is about to pay off.
