Free Entry To Manitoba Parks On Canada's Parks Day 2020
The Province of Manitoba announced that there will be free entry to Manitoba Parks from July 17th to 19th, 2020 in celebration of Canada’s Parks Day. All other fees including nightly camping are not included in this offer. Parks offer a full range of physical activities in the great outdoors. Hiking, swimming, canoeing and mountain biking are all part of a healthier lifestyle. When visiting parks, remember to practise physical distancing and wash or sanitize hands frequently to protect yourself from COVID-19.
“As Manitoba continues to restart our economy and reopen our communities, I encourage Manitobans and visitors to our province to take advantage of the opportunities throughout our beautiful provincial parks, and the mental and physical health benefits they provide. As many Manitobans stay close to home this summer, this weekend is a great chance to rediscover our parks or take advantage of the outdoor activities you already know and love.”
Manitoba Provincial Parks has seen a significant increase in visitation this year, with over 68,000 campsite reservations made this year to date, an increase of 13 per cent over 2019. Campground occupancy has increased eight and a half per cent compared to this time last year.
