Photo by Western University - Northern Tornadoes Project Is Ontario’s Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park cursed? It’s been ravaged by countless storms throughout the years, the latest big one being on June 21, 2025. Winds over 100 km/h toppled trees looking like a box of pick-up-sticks, cars were crushed, trailers were crunched and tents were blown away with the wind like a scene out of the Wizard of Oz. It was classed a downburst, not a tornado.
