A new movie being shot in Birds Hill Provincial Park means people will need to use an alternate entrance to get in.
The province announced last week that the west gate entrance on Provincial Trunk Highway 59 will be closed from July 22 to July 26 as a film production is happening in the area.
Instead, people are being asked to use the east gate entrance on Provincial Road 206. For those coming from the north or south, detours will be in place.
