In addition to the obvious educational value of the program, a percentage of profits are passed along to the park. At The Massasauga, another provincial park on Georgian Bay, a local canoe and kayak business offers lessons for visitors.

In turn, the artists display and sell their finished works at the Friends of Bon Echo Gift Shop. In 1999 Bon Echo also provided camping, race headquarters and the finish line for a three-day adventure race organized by Frontier Adventure Racing.

This is just a small sample of the activities made possible using partnerships in parks throughout Ontario.
