Screw that ****, if you believe there may be safety issues, you send in a few more Ontario Parks Security people, but no, that would mean they'd have to spend more money.
It’s nothing to do with the cost, it’s just not protocol. These days confrontations are to be avoided at all costs, it’s all about de-escalating things.
A couple years back I was at Agawa Bay and there was a large group of young men celebrating the end of an important Islamic observance in the next site. They had booked multiple sites to get past the number of people per site rule but in reality they were all tenting on 1 site. I knew there was going to be an issue when they started putting up multiple quartz work lights in the trees around the site to act as street lights. Those lights were not unplugged for the entire time they were there. There was loud talking, sometimes yelling and singing until well into the wee hours of the morning, etc, etc.
Despite multiple calls to management by many, many campers there was nothing but a single visit by security to ask them to keep it down. That worked, for as long as it took for security to drive away.
