“We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said.  “We are doing everything we can to correct this issue.  Our provincial park visitors are important to us, and we recognize that these incorrect charges have been an inconvenience to our customers.  In addition to refunding the charges, we will be mailing cheques for $100 to those credit card holders who were over charged.”

Camis, the private company that runs the website, has been receiving calls from some of the customers but they are also actively trying to find the remainder of the customers who were overcharged.
