Hundreds of thousands of visitors are flocking to Gatineau Park for the Thanksgiving long weekend, triggering widespread traffic jams and overflowing parking lots. CTV's Kimberley Johnson speaks with park visitor Shri Vogedy, who spent over half an hour searching for an open space after roads opened near Pink Lake. The National Capital Commission has implemented four-dollar hourly parking fees to encourage stall turnover, while running free transit shuttles from downtown stops near the Canadian War Museum. Regular hiker Jake Leeson joined morning transit lines to visit King Mountain, saying the free shuttle service offers vital park access for students and residents without vehicles.
