KEITH CAMERON started with the Department of Lands and Forests in Chapleau, Ontario in 1951 as a forest ranger.
He transferred to Rondeau Provincial Park as assistant superintendent in May 1955.
In August 1957, he became the first superintendent of Pinery Provincial Park. On September 1, 1958, he began a long and extremely influential career as park supervisor of the Lake Erie District in Aylmer, Ontario where he and his wife Hilda lived for the rest of Keith's life.
Keith almost single-handedly built the provincial park system in southwestern Ontario. Pinery, Wheatley, Turkey Point, John E. Pearce, Clay Creek, Selkirk and Holiday Beach were among the parks that he chaperoned into the provincial system particularly in the late 1950s and 1960s when he specialized on park development and oversaw the spending of millions of dollars. In April 1973, he transferred to the new Southwestern Regional Office in London as parks operations specialist. Later in his career, Keith became increasingly environmentally conscious and aware of of the importance of planning and ecosystem management in provincial parks.
In these positions, he had a legendary career and recruited and trained succeeding generations of park superintendents and technicians. He was highly respected and universally liked, a friend to everyone.
Keith was effective in getting planned work done.
