The National Capital Commission is facing backlash after introducing new Gatineau Park paid parking fees at the visitor centre in Chelsea. CTV's Katelyn Wilson speaks with Chelsea resident Carol Ferderber, who says she is disappointed that her daily walk now costs up to $16. Mayor Brian Nolan says the change caught the town off guard, while Restaurant Tonique co-owner Vincent Boudreau notes businesses are now paying staff to patrol their private lots. The commission says the revenue will fund park operations and public services, and could revisit the town's request for free evening parking in the coming months.
