Guest host Sarah Harmer takes us on a hike through Canada's first urban national park. Rouge Park is 60 square kilometres of wilderness and parklands, surrounded by the Greater Toronto Area. It's a bit of an experiment for Parks Canada, and comes at a time of budget cuts and threats to the system as a whole.
