    When was Kingscote Area added to the Park

    Basically what the subject says. Anyone know when Kingscote was added to the Park? I've found one trip report that says 1961, but would love another source to confirm.

    In 1961 Brunton and Clyde townships were added to the park through the Algonquin Park Expansion Act. It's also because of this act that you can hunt there.

    Was it the last area added? I have this map hanging in my house from 1955. Looks like that addition would complete it
