An Ottawa woman says the National Capital Commission (NCC) should offer refunds to Gatineau Park pass holders in Ontario who are following public health advice and staying away from western Quebec. Gatineau Park and the surrounding region are within a red zone, Quebec's highest alert level. A winter pass to Gatineau Park, which can also be used to access designated snowshoeing trails, costs $172 if purchased by Nov. 23, and $200 after. NCC may offer credits"Our funds are basically being held hostage by the NCC," Philippe said. The NCC said refunds aren't the only way to compensate pass holder, and said it will consider offering credits for next winter.
