Historique
The Leslie M. Frost Natural Resources Centre was established by order of Premier William G. Davis on February 20, 1974 and began operation April 1st that same year. The centre, operated by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), was situated on St. Nora's lake in Sherborne Township, Haliburton, on 24,000 hectares of land. The Frost Centre operated in the facilities of the former Ontario Forest Ranger School and Ontario Forest Technical School.
The Frost Centre was established to foster public understanding and appreciation of natural resources, their management and use, and provide opportunities for outdoor education and recreation.
Objectives included the development of integrated resources planning and management, preservation of unique natural and historic area features, interpretation of management practices and features of the area, and provide opportunities for the public to develop outdoor skills, knowledge and ethics.
At its peak, the Frost Centre welcomed an average of 11,000 visitors a year, primarily Ontario school groups between grades 6 to 13, and other groups with special interests in natural resources.
The Centre was also open to the public for day programs and for use of the many self-guided interpretive trails and facilities for canoe-camping, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing.
The Frost Centre facilities were also used by MNR employees for training and workshops.
The Frost Centre also included a Junior Ranger camp on Mouse Lake, as part of the wider Junior Ranger program that provided 17 year olds with eight weeks of work, education and recreation related to natural resources.
The Leslie M. Frost Natural Resources Centre was closed in 2004.
