The Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage will not follow through on its plan to privatize the operation of Murray Beach Provincial Park this spring. The park would continue to have provincial park status. Stephen Robb, who lives in Murray Corner and visits the park regularly, said that when he first heard the government's intentions last year, he and others in the community formed a group called Murray Beach Action. Water-quality issues at Murray Beach and Parlee Beach have led to beach closures. Mitton said Murray Beach Provincial Park earns more than it costs to run.
